Studies: Do Grains Cause Inflammation? (+ Effects on Health & Weight Loss)

I go over studies on whether whole grains cause inflammation, and whether refined grains cause inflammation--as well as some of their effects on weight loss & health. Press "show more" to see the study links!

Gave up all bread and pasta and dairy in my diet two months ago. Inflammation in my hips has vanished.

A 7 min video summarising they key points succinctly. Thank you!

It's great to have knowledgeable scientists doing their utmost to provide truthful, impartial facts about nutrition and metabolism!

Do a review on seed oils... They've been getting quite a bash for some time. And tell us what foods are actually inflammatory.

I wonder if most people really know what whole grain is. In the comments of a couple videos I've watched on the topic, most people just mention bread and pasta. There was little to no mention of the different types of rice, oats, quinoa, ect. Shoot, I just learned what amaranth was

I feel like grain is pushed on us bc it’s pretty abundant. When I avoid them I’m thriving. My nutritionists doesn’t want me to cut it out just yet but I eat them sparingly. It’s bad enough grain is in every meal and we had it for breakfast everyday in the 90s.

Thank you for being the only one willing to speak on Grains and information 🔥

[marksTips]

You are amazing! Thanks for this valuable information! I have heard a million times from low carbers that grains are inflammatory. Now I know they don't know what they are talking about!

One way to know if you're sensitive to gluten would be to give up grains for a few weeks and increase vegetables & some lower glyceimic fruits in your nutrition. Then make a comparison on how you feel and look. I just started this today. Hopefully it is sustainable long term

Would be interesting what the conclusion to all your studies is, which means: What do you eat day by day? Would love to see that!

I like your logic and your methods! This video was very informative.

[Carol-Bell]

This info was very interesting. I shared this video with my daughter, who has Crohn’s disease and has improved her health by avoiding gluten and dairy.
I subscribed last week— I enjoy your videos and appreciate how thorough your research is. Thank you.

Your body still doesn’t require whole grains. It’s not a necessary part of your diet like people believe.

[keppela]

It's hard to believe refined grains wouldn't be inflammatory given how high they are in acrylamides. I'm guessing the observational studies you mention didn't find them inflammatory because background levels of inflammation in our society are already high.

Can you do a video on seed oils and their health effects? Joe Rogan recently said they’re super bad for your health, so I’m interested in hearing what research suggests on this topic. Thanks!

[rachelm]

I have multiple injuries and inflammation. I gave up both modern wheat (the stuff in all processed foods) and in 1 DAY I was pain-free. There's no problem with Spelt flour, rice, cous-cous, or any other grain ..but ditch that wheat. 😏

It’s sad how the health gurus have demonized grains.

[JohnLahren]

Aw come I wanted to see some BS comments from bots created by Eric Berg, Autumn Bates and a bunch of other dumbos who preach nutrition information they don't know sh*t about ;) Thank you Miche for being a voice of reason in the nutrition 8)

[finalfan]

Nutrition Made Simple is also a researcher with a Phd doing similar videos. He's saying that it doesn't matter that much who is funding the research.

Everyone glazes over the glyphosate saturation as well. It continues into you thru this food/grain commodity and the water and soil its leached into.
