[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your colon misses them.  I’m not sure about nutrients but I have read B vitamins aren’t absorbed well.

But the fiber from whole grains is extremely important to overall health.  A diet rich in whole grains and low in red and processed meats has shown to be have the greatest benefits to lowing risk for many GI cancers (colon, stomach, liver, maybe others).  Fiber from fruits and vegetables did not have  the same beneficial effect as while grains in lower the risk of these cancers.  Though they are important part of a heathy diet and prevention of other cancers.

Real whole grains can and should be a part of a balanced diet.

Do some research.  Particularly for you colon health, it is not a good idea to cut out all whole grains long term.  [/quote]

+100.   There is so much we are learning about microbiome and colon health (especially as colon cancer and IBD rates are increasing dramatically)   It seems like a silly risk to cut out whole grains -fruits and vegetables don’t fully cover it.   Though a lot of what Americans think of whole grains is a pretty weak standard.  [/quote]

Yes, please do your research. We actually do not need grains and the high grain/fiber and low fat diet is the same that brought this country a huge increase in obesity and type 2 diabetes. I eat 95% carnivore diet and my health has never been better. Unlearn what’s been shoved down tour throat and relearn for yourself. [/quote]

I'm a scientist and I follow the most recent - weekly - research on IBD (and colon related) diet from both US & Europe.  I also interact with researchers on these topics.  I also follow the genetic research and the links between genetics / environment / colon disease.   I am very glad that you are healthy today, but not everyone has both the genetics and environment that makes them healthy.   If you follow the research - are confident on your genetics, than you may decide what risk profile you want to take with your diet for the long run.   (And yes, if you follow the research, you know that I am not referring to the government push on "whole" but often processed grains through pyramid that you maybe referring needs to be unlearned)
