Sourdough bread is better, right? WRONG!!

[reef]

People have been eating bread for thousands of years and living past 90 years old doing so. Now all of a sudden bread is bad.

[FFS]

Tell that to my Italian grandmother that died at 108 years old eating bread everyday and smoking like a train

[biggrigg]

Throwing the spear at the bread was awesome. Bread is very dangerous. I'm glad he had a weapon to defend himself from it.

[zziszzis]

Comments are hilarious. Thank you all. I haven't laughed enough for 2 weeks due to stress from my upcoming exams

[tafwolf]

why throw it out the window when u can spear it, amirite

It's not THAT gluten may be bad but HOW gluten may be bad.

Humans have relied on bread for thousands of years and suffered no ill effects....until recently. I'm not the smartest person in the world, but even I can see that the sudden influx of problems nowadays is at a definite contrast to what used to be.

Some things to consider:
1) Wheat is ultra-processed now to create micron-sized granules of flour which is what are primarily used in fast food bread and store bought white bread. This area is used by food companies tactically, as the smaller pieces are rapidly digested and broken down far more than our ancestors used to encounter; essentially breaking down the sugars of the product rapidly which causes a spike of dopamine. This small size, however, also means the glutens are also broken down too quickly.
2)Additives in breads are at an all-time high. Nitrates, sulphates, and phosphates might as well be "American secret spice" with how much the USDA/FDA put that in food.
3)The Standard American Diet (SAD), already rapidly kills the good gut flora within by reducing the fibrous content and lactic sugar/acid content. Too much sugar causes candida blooms (which make you crave sugar). Too much oil causes E Coli blooms (which can enter your colon and cause Crohn's or Crohn's like symptoms). All of these are not the microorganisms you want growing out of control. What you want are lactobacillus and streptococcus thermophilus. They're good guys, there are also fiber-digesting microbes you 1000% need more of.

Maybe people's intolerance to gluten is because their internal microbiome is crap because of things like SAD making your good gut bacteria die off and introducing worse gut bacteria which also weaken the gut and the natural symbiotic immune system.

Bro, I’m not giving up bread, you ever baked bread at home? That shit slaps, with some butter, there’s no

[jadenlewendon]

Nearly every culture has been eating bread for thousands of years. Humanity is built on bread.

There's weston price article if i remember right where it says that 48h slow fermentation removes 97% of gluten from bread. I do it once a week without any gut problems.

I too mostly take health advise from a shirtless dude with a spear

That's not true man. I'm gluten sensitive and I have had a couple sourdough breads without any reactions. They were both fermented for over a day and they used heritage wheat strains (which have lower gluten to begin with). But the fermentation actually breaks down some of these lectins for sure, otherwise I and others wouldn't be able to eat it.

Note: bread at the store labeled sourdough is not actually fermented. You'll have to go to a specialty bakery.

Gluten is absolutely not harmful as long as you're not celiac

So many bloody experts . Thanks internet

[DrSlick]

This guy needs to chill. People have been eating bread since God created man.

Please explain to me why people in the Mediterranean, Italy for example, live a long life despite eating pasta daily, fresh sourdough, olive oil, meats, salads, fresh veg and red wine. People in my village are working on farms in their late 90s! I believe it’s down to the naturally grown and good quality food and environment. But they don’t live off just organs, honey and a certain type of fruit. Curious what your thoughts are on this.

[Lieutenant-Dan]

Look at me I'm like a hunter gatherer, a tribesman, living an "ancestral life, " walking around with no shirt and carrying my spear...in my mansion with my smartphone, computer and WiFi and buying my food from a store.

I don’t tolerate bread in any form yet in my crohn’s healing journey.. but I don’t buy this. Some of the healthiest looking and clearest minds I know (and follow on internet) consume fermented sourdough very often. People that are very in tune with their bodies. You’re projecting your gut issues onto everyone.. much like you did when you were pushing studies about zero carb.. then carnivore with honey but no fiber.. then carnivore with HELLA fiber. Quit jumping to conclusions based on personal ailment

[michaeldiaz]

Bro who cares…. As long as you have a balanced diet, eating bread once in a while ain’t gunna kill you….

[elijahasefa]

I eat one slice of sourdough with my breakfast of steak and eggs every morning. Everything in moderation.

My father healthy at 92 fit eats white bread butter and jam ....
