Are Grains Really Healthy — or Just a Beautiful Lie?
Let’s be honest:
You don’t come here for soft truths.
You eat your oatmeal, whole wheat bread, fortified flour — thinking you’re nourishing yourself.
But your gut knows.
Nature defends itself cleverly.
Animals have claws and horns.
Plants? They arm themselves with chemicals.
Grains like wheat, maize, rice, soy, peas…
carry natural defense weapons:
—Gluten
—Phytates
—Lectins
—Oxalates
These compounds block your absorption of iron, zinc, folate, amino acids.
They irritate your gut lining.
They feed inflammation.
That’s why we’re seeing more:
—IBS
—Ulcers
—Indigestion
—Anaemia, even with iron supplements
It’s not the lack of pills.
It’s the presence of grains.
BUT — here’s is the full TRUTH
If you’re metabolically healthy and your gut is stable, you can enjoy small amounts of properly prepared grains — like ofada rice, paired with protein and vegetables.
It’s about balance and preparation, not blind glorification.
For those battling chronic illness or inflammation, pulling grains off the plate often unlocks deep healing.
Choose meat.
Choose eggs.
Choose vegetables.
Choose wisely.
You don’t owe grains anything.
