What Are Good Alternative Carbs To Eat Instead of Wheat?

Is European Wheat Healthier Than American Wheat?

European wheat may not cause the same issues as American wheat - does this have something to do with gluten and pesticides?

The European wheat has less gluten vs the American wheat species.

But what may actually be the main issue is that American wheat is much more processed including bleaching and using the pesticide Glyphosate and Atrazine that are banned in Europe. Glyphosate has been seen to disrupt the microbiome causing severe GI issues that may be the REAL REASON you are experiencing gut issues from eating bread in the USA.

What the Heck is Glyphosate - is it Dangerous to Ingest?

Potential harmful effects of glyphosate:

• Cancer Risk: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic in humans," with links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
• Endocrine Disruption: Glyphosate has been shown to interfere with hormonal functions, potentially affecting reproductive health and development.
• Gut Microbiome Impact: Research suggests that glyphosate may alter gut microbiota, which can lead to various health issues, including gastrointestinal disorders.
• Potential Developmental Effects: Animal studies indicate that exposure to glyphosate may harm fetal development and disrupt normal growth processes.
• Environmental Concerns: Glyphosate can affect biodiversity, harming non-target species and disrupting ecosystems.

Sources: International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs, peer-reviewed studies, and reports from organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Is glyphosate the real reason we have so much Cancer?

Oats, corn, soy, wheat and canola are the most-sprayed products. If glyphosate is unhealthy, what are some options for going organic?
