Scientists Promoting Grains Find New Angle
Australian scientist, David Topping, from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), presented at the World Grains Summit in San Francisco last month where he emphasized the importance for human health of starches that are not digested easily in the small intestine. I found this interesting, if rather unusual.
As a celiac and someone prone to food allergies I am very sensitive to the grain promoters, especially when they falsely spread marketing information dressed up as science that claims health benefits from grains. The whole grain focus of the widely promoted 'food pyramid' is nothing more than a Department of Agriculture backed marketing scam.
