Should We Avoid Gluten?

attach them the topic gluten beforehand and you said that you have some issues with so would you be so kind to touch on this a little bit more and also in the end regarding with sprouting gluten containing food and Brenda could you share your opinion as well lutein definitely is a big problem in today’s and so many kids have problems especially they’re just a problem because of gluten and you know so the studies that came out about that it actually quantified rupal the risk of diabetes type 1 actually came out of Munich Hospital forty years ago Munich yeah and and the studies here in America came out a few years ago and it said oops if you have diabetes type one you can’t have gluten and I thought well forty years ago we already knew that and our kids are brought up without gluten there’s so many kids that have now celiac disease and you know it’s because we’ve been overdoing it we’ve had so much of the wheat flour in all kinds of forms and we got allergic to it so this is it’s a big problem and of course if I sprout so I can take the grains that has gluten like their oats thick which doesn’t have much but still and there I and the corn and the barley and the wheat wheat of course by the time we grow it seven days it’s it’s a totally different thing and very few there’s like one person a year that comes to the Institute they can’t take the wheat grass and then we just like no it’s like one person a year and then we exchange it for blue-green algae instead and they can do they can drink it and then they can do whatever we do we do a lot of things with wheatgrass we can’t tell you all that we put it everywhere so so gluten definite is a big deal for gastrointestinal problem colitis Crohn’s it’s huge and you know autism autism of course and any parents with a child with autism that stop gluten will see an improvement so we we don’t we don’t have gluten at the Institute and if we use grains that have gluten they’re all sprouted and like you hear

explain explain again what you said so we clarify what happens to the chemical process when you drink but no you so the the amino acids the proteins become usable because it goes from complex protein to the amino acids the essential fats become essential fatty acids very easy for the cell to pick up and the carbohydrates simple sugars so this is why again you go back similar if you take a wheat and try to chew it you’ve never swallowed that you’d break your teeth in the process soften it and the softening process becomes digestibility of it and keep going back to the fact out we wouldn’t have naturally eaten these foods at all at one point we would have preferred and I did an experiment back in Boston this is when I was just a kid was maybe 1981-82 I just to become the director and I said you know do we still have any instinct at all because I started to notice at that point when my head got clear I didn’t like romaine lettuce and I didn’t like iceberg lettuce I would prefer the light leafy green lettuce and I thought is that me doing that or psychological ER so I used to put lettuce out for two and a half month period for ten week period and watch what the people chose we’d have a hundred guests or so and I put it out and inevitably everyone instinctually went for the light leafies and then of course when that was gone they would go and take the more standard so even though iceberg lettuce is the lettuce we all get everywhere in the world when you have a salad and that’s what foremilk people are familiar with instinctually we still want light leafy things and the germination gives you that makes it easy

I have a couple of things to say first I just wanted to thank you for coming up here and presenting this information it’s a wonderful time I want to touch on sprouting Brenda you ran through a whole list of stuff I’ve been sprouting pulses for over two decades successfully but I’m surrounding one that you didn’t ment and I want to know what you think of if you consider it a larger on sprouter will mean that Satsuki you can answer me when I’m done and the other thing there’s a lot of other beings I’ve been hearing things lately in the social media and on the internet about beans and leptin now if you could if either the Clemens could speak to those because of their success with sprouting about leptin z’ and what end sprouts that’s basically it I haven’t seen research yep oh I couldn’t tell at first if they were sound coming out of a microphone I said I’ve been sprouting pulses successfully for over two decades but I still have problems sprouting successfully smaller being small small seeds the radishes the alfalfa the broccoli and so forth no matter how little a trench singh technique or medium that i am laying them down on i’m not having success with them if you could maybe speak to that after answering the other question now i do want so I believe that it adzuki beans would be safe to sprout and yeah so and then the other question about that was your question really about oh about lectins well lectins that’s the hemagglutinin xin in beans and there’s a lot of it’s the one of the probably most popular diet craze right now is a lectin free diet and so it’s a it’s a very much i’m more of a meat centered way of eating for sure to get rid of lectins lectins are naturally present in plants as a you know to to help protect the plants and and so there there there and and so but the the probably the most concentrated source of lectins and the human diet would be legumes and when you cook legumes for fifth into 20 minutes you pretty much completely destroy the lectins and most people eating legumes on a regular basis are cooking them for probably an hour an hour and a half depending on their size you if you’re cooking legumes you want them to be able to disc Russian with your tongue on the top of the roof of your mouth and the the lectins would be gone and to me I always say this but the acid test to me is is look at what the healthiest longest-lived people on the planet are doing every single blue zone the one food they all commonly eat is legumes if they were poisoned because of the lectins they probably wouldn’t be the longest-lived healthy or they’re the luckiest long as it’s just kind of ridiculous to me and then you look at the studies the mortality studies on legumes versus mean legumes the studies on mortality consistently show benefits and increased longevity with lakum consumption and with meat they consistently show reduced you know longevity increased mortality and increased risk of pretty much every chronic disease we can think of so they’re part of that five the people in the five blue zones that in fact one of my colleagues and good friends dr. u happens to be Japanese and he went down and hung out lived with him he just he said I want to figure out how to live to 105 and he gave me some insight that was amazing

it’s amazing how how extraordinarily popular people can come when they or market it well and now this gentleman who wrote this book basically has sold 68 million copies that book I don’t know of another health book that even come close to that to be honest with you I mean if you put the ten best authors together I don’t think we we match that that’s a lot of health book so I read it but I forget what’s the name of it again what is it doc Scalia paradigm paradox plant paradise okay now I didn’t you know I went through it I was reading two other books as I was sort of disinterested it is so dr. Furman last night who I obviously read all of the references that in there I didn’t read it so I’m just quoting dr. Furman so I can’t confirm this but I can’t imagine he’s making this up he said when he looked at several of the references they weren’t real but the the gentleman cherry-picked I know one thing his resolution is to eat meat and that’s wrong so he’s telling you don’t eat beans which by the way the longest living people in the world eat you know but in fact chickens fight for you yeah yeah so I mean you know we don’t have to make this guy bad maybe he had the right intent maybe he really met well maybe that’s where he is at this point you’re all being cheated by the way all three of us will know more tomorrow so we don’t know as much today as we know tomorrow and so whatever it is let’s hope he’s came from the purest right intent and that’s where he is at this point but sadly if you can affect 68 million people and people they touch and they now start eating chicken rather than cucumbers I’m a little concerned about that and sprouting oh yeah that’s that’s odd the the easy ones you’re having a hard time I mean usually with the Institute sometimes we grow and still write in a jar well then it’s the water quality because it could be the seed – it could be the seed yeah you have organic seeds and you had yeah and you had good water it’s filtered water you have to run if there’s a little bit of Schmidt inside of the jar it could contaminate the whole thing yeah some something good too in the jar like Shaklee has a basic G and you put it in a big spray bottle just a little bit filling up with water that you could wash the bottle with that rocks I go to the dollar store buy two peroxide scented yeah yeah yeah well don’t give up keep doing it
