I thought this would be a good example of how people are 'tricked' and fooled into thinking that their chosen foods are actually good for you......
Original whole grain is rich in fiber, which helps sweep waste out through the colon; the refined version has no fiber. If you want to try a science experiment, mix about a quarter cup of flour with four tablespoons of water and see what you get: The perfect white glue paste. Now consider what happens as that travels through your colon.
That waste is hard to remove, especially if, like the typical fiber deficient American, you do not have a bowel movement after every meal. Much of that waste will remain in the body creating the perfect environment for parasites to thrive on as well as adding some extra pounds.
