People concerned about digestive health might be interested in a recent article written by a medical doctor. The article is featured in a health nut’s blog. The doctor addresses the question whether intact grains are better than those that are whole. He argues that foods which are broken down may cause a person’s blood sugar to spike. He points to a study which shows a blood sugar doubling after consuming flour instead of whole grain. Thus, he concludes intact grains are better for one’s health.
