THE REACTION
CARBS: THE MINIMALIST VIEW
• Good carbs: unprocessed and unmodified• Whole grains• Veggies: see handout• Fruits• Beans
• Bad carbs: Processed• You know….cherry pie, French fries, potatoes, sugary beverages.
• http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates/
CARBS: MINIMALIST VIEW
• Carbs are the primary source of energy. Our bodies convert carbs to energy faster than any other food group.
• Abuse of carbs leads to inflammation and diabetes.
MR BORLAUG
• Changed the world• Nobel Laureate• Started the Green
Revolution, a precursor to the GMO industry
HISTORY OF WHEAT
• The problem• The heart of the man trying to fix the problem• What he did• What happened• What do we do now…
THE PROBLEM
• Starvation in poor countries was Borlaug’s starting point• Imports of grains were the most important conversations of UN and
Kings and Queens• People had absolute focus on achieving food independence.
WHAT BORLAUG DID
• He obtained a PhD in plant protection at the age of 27, and worked in Mexico in the 1940s and 1950s to make the country self-sufficient in grain. Borlaug recommended improved methods of cultivation, and developed a robust strain of wheat - dwarf wheat - that was adapted to Mexican conditions. By 1956 the country had become self-sufficient in wheat.
• Got hired as a consultant in India and Pakistan, and got results that no one could ever dream of….
BORLAUG’S EFFORTS IN THOSE THREE COUNTRIES…
NORMAN BORLAUG’S EFFORTS
CONSEQUENCES….
WHEAT BELLY/LEAKY GUT
OUR KNOWN/POSSIBLE RESPONSES
• Don’t eat wheat (bread) at all• Don’t eat modern dwarf varieties of wheat (bread)• Ignore and continue eating what is put in front of you!
WHAT THE GAURA’S DO
• Make our own bread• Buy and use Einkorn Wheat• Feed out kids Einkorn wheat bread• Eat more oats• We eat Sprouted grain bread*• We have a greater variety of grains/carbs in our diet: polenta, quinoa, quinoa based
pasta, spaghetti squash, sweet potatoes• We avoid foods back filled with enriched wheat flour(s).• Limit carbs at night, to address insulin issues.
