Starch - The Delicious Devil

[SamYo123]

What?! That is silly! What happened to eggs, seafood, fruits, custards, puddings, bone broth soups, well cooked vegetables, fruits, honey, ice cream, jello and such? You’re statement isn’t even arguable considering beans are a starch. ?

Garret would claims they are all high vitamin A and shouldnt be eaten which limits you to beans, steak and starch, so if no starch or beans then steak would be the only option...

“The original time-frame of the diet was anywhere from one to six months. That seemed doable. But as time went on it kept extending – one year, two years, five years. Hmmm…

We did see some progress at first.

Then we got to the 6-7 month mark. And things changed.

I went from feeling good to my digestive system basically shutting down overnight. And six months later it still is not very functional. It’s been a hard setback to accept as I had worked so hard for years to get where I was.

My oldest went back to struggling with focus.

My eight-year-old’s eczema and food reactions started coming back.

My five-year-old’s leg pains and poor appetite returned.

My nursling started to sleep poorly and react to foods again.“

The amount of attention this guy gets is wild. In what world has the human body gotten to a point where beans, rice and beef are the optimal diet and vitamin A is the root of all evil. It’s ludicrous.

“Liberal consumption of so-called good fats – like those found in olive oil and avocados – may lead to fatty liver disease, a risk factor for metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, according to a new study by scientists at UC San Francisco.

The findings, in mice, surprised even the researchers, who were expecting saturated fat – popularly known as the worse kind – to cause more fat buildup in livers.

“The belief in the field for quite some time has been that saturated fat is bad for the liver,” said Caroline C. Duwaerts, PhD, associate research biologist at the UCSF Liver Center and first author of the study, published in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Instead, they found that a diet high in monounsaturated fat, combined with high starch content, caused the most severe fatty liver disease. The finding emphasizes that simply counting calories does not guarantee a healthy diet.”

“The best way to begin to heal your child’s gut is to remove the foods that are causing it.

“One of the main culprits is gluten. You may have heard about gluten before and how many health-conscious people are eliminating it from their diets. People seem to go back and forth on whether it’s serious or not, but for autistic children, it is serious.

One study found that a subset of autistic children showed heightened reactivity to gluten. Children with ASD seem to already have different gut bacteria and poor gut lining but are extra sensitive to gluten, and gluten actually hurts the gut lining for everyone! This happens because when gluten is broken up into smaller pieces in your gut, these fragments cause the release of zonulin, which then tells the lining of your gut to become looser.

So this all seems to be stacking up that children with ASD should not be eating gluten.”

Can Gut Bacteria Affect Symptoms of Autism?

The Autism Gut Bacteria Theory actually has a lot of research behind it. In this article, we take a look at how autism, leaky gut, and overall gut health can actually affect autistic symptoms. Learn actionable tips to fix help your child's microbiome.

“The study looked at "food networks" and found that people whose diets consisted mostly of highly processed meats, starchy foods like potatoes, and snacks like cookies and cakes, were more likely to have dementia years later compared to people who ate a wider variety of healthy foods.”

It's no secret that a healthy diet may benefit the brain. However, it may not only be what foods you eat, but what foods you eat together that may be associated with your risk of dementia, according to a new study.

“We know that a diet high in starchy foods can lead to diabetes and heart disease. Starchy foods are carbohydrates. Some studies show that this food group also may be linked to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MCI may be an early form of Alzheimer’s disease. MCI does not always lead to Alzheimer’s, though.

A recent study by the Mayo Clinic found that older people who ate a diet high in starchy foods were four times more likely to develop MCI.

“Carbohydrates in the diet also help
to decrease the mobilization of fatty acids from storage; niacinamide and aspirin support that effect. Sugars are probably more favorable than starches for the immune system(Harris, et al., 1999), and failure of the immune system is a common feature of cancer. Polyunsaturated fats are generally known to suppress the immune system. Foods that provide generous amounts of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, help to minimize stress. Trace minerals and vitamins are important, but can be harmful if used excessively--iron excess is important to avoid.“ -Ray Peat

“According to Manaker, arsenic is a trace element that, when consumed frequently and in large quantities, can lead to some unpleasant health outcomes.

Arsenic has been found in rice, so when you consume this grain, you can be ingesting this element too," she says.

Although white rice is lower in arsenic than brown rice, it's still important to avoid consuming too much and to vary your grains. Some options that are lower in arsenic and worth trying are amaranth, quinoa, bulgur, and farro.

You can also look at whether the arsenic levels are lower or higher in the region where your rice was grown. For example, white basmati rice from California, India, and Pakistan may contain less arsenic than other types of rice. Sushi rice from the U.S. is another example.“

“Fructose affects the body's ability to retain other nutrients, including magnesium, copper, calcium, and other minerals. Comparing diets with 20% of the calories from fructose or from cornstarch, Holbrook, et al. (1989) concluded "The results indicate that dietary fructose enhances mineral balance." Ordinarily, things (such as thyroid and vitamin D) which improve the retention of magnesium and other nutrients are considered good, but the fructose mythology allows researchers to conclude, after finding an increased magnesium balance, with either 4% or 20% of energy from fructose (compared to cornstarch, bread, and rice), "that dietary fructose adversely affects macromineral homeostasis in humans." (Milne and Nielsen, 2000).

Another study compared the effects of a diet with plain water, or water containing 13% glucose, or sucrose, or fructose, or high fructose corn syrup on the properties of rats' bones: Bone mineral density and mineral content, and bone strength, and mineral balance. The largest differences were between animals drinking the glucose and the fructose solutions. The rats getting the glucose had reduced phosphorus in their bones, and more calcium in their urine, than the rats that got fructose. "The results suggested that glucose rather than fructose exerted more deleterious effects on mineral balance and bone" (Tsanzi, et al., 2008).
An older experiment compared two groups with an otherwise well balanced diet, lacking vitamin D, containing either 68% starch or 68% sucrose. A third group got the starch diet, but with added vitamin D. The rats on the vitamin D deficient starch diet had very low levels of calcium in their blood, and the calcium content of their bones was low, exactly what is expected with the vitamin D deficiency. However, the rats on the sucrose diet, also vitamin D deficient, had normal levels of calcium in their blood. The sucrose, unlike the starch, maintained claim homeostasis. A radioactive calcium tracer showed normal uptake by the bone, and also apparently normal bone development, although their bones were lighter than those receiving vitamin D.“ -Ray Peat

“When the idea of "glycemic index" was being popularized by dietitians, it was already known that starch, consisting of chains of glucose molecules, had a much higher index than fructose and sucrose. The more rapid appearance of glucose in the blood stimulates more insulin, and insulin stimulates fat synthesis, when there is more glucose than can be oxidized immediately. If starch or glucose is eaten at the same time as polyunsaturated fats, which inhibit its oxidation, it will produce more fat. Many animal experiments show this, even when they are intending to show the dangers of fructose and sucrose.“ -Ray Peat

“Much of the current concern about the dangers of fructose is focussed on the cornstarch-derived high fructose corn syrup, HFCS. Many studies assume that its composition is nearly all fructose and glucose. However, Wahjudi, et al. (2010) analyzed samples of it before and after hydrolyzing it in acid, to break down other carbohydrates present in it. They found that the carbohydrate content was several times higher than the listed values. "The underestimation of carbohydrate content in beverages may be a contributing factor in the development of obesity in children," and it's especially interesting that so much of it is present in the form of starch-like materials.“ -Ray Peat
