GRAINS (CEREALS, STARCHES, CRACKERS, & COOKIES)

Grains have been highly overrated in the USDA Nutrition Guidelines. This error in nutrition has greatly contributed to an obesity epidemic and been very costly because of the maladies it is creating. Adding insult to injury, non-organic grains are now sprayed with glyphosate (RoundUp), which NGO scientists have concluded to be a carcinogen.

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/15/health/roundupherbicide-cancer-allegations/index.html. Bs do not do well with most grains; especially wheat, rye, and corn lectins, which trigger inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. AVOID gluten-free products containing corn starch, corn meal, and soy. Unfortunately, most corn and soy products today, have been contaminated with GMOs and should be avoided. See: https://www.organicconsumers.org and learn more about what to look for when buying gluten-free products: http://www.thealternativedaily.com/wheat-making-fatsick/.

Grain products should be organic, fat-free, and sugar-free. Also, AVOID all baked goods and grain products (pasta, etc.) containing bromide and fluoride. For a good selection of gluten-free wrap, pizza base, and whole food mixes go to: http://www.monicatopliss.com.

Organic, gluten-free rice crackers make tasty snacks that are suitable for all blood types. Select organic gluten-free, brown rice crackers that contain NO added sugar, oils, MSG or other flavor enhancers. Edward & Sons, San J, and EatRight are three brands that produce these kind of crackers. Read the ingredients section and avoid flavored crackers, which contain oil, sugar. Don’t settle for unhealthy, cheap imitations.

Choose cookies or biscuits that are FREE of added sugar, HFCS, and vegetable oils; especially canola oil. Some so called health food companies use organic sugar or cane juice in addition to fats/oils, additives, and flavor enhancers in their baked products. Use of organic sugar or cane juice is just another gimmick from the sugar industry to confuse and fool the consumer into thinking their product is healthy.

Refined sugar is NOT healthy no matter how organic it is! Keep consumption of all grain products to a minimum. If on a gluten-free diet, AVOID all gluten grains not listed below.

BENEFICIAL: Essene bread (manna), Ezekiel 4:9 bread, millet, oat bran, oat flour, oatmeal, rice bran, rice cake, rice milk, spelt (whole)

NEUTRAL FREQUENTLY: Barley, quinoa, spelt (flour/products)

NEUTRAL INFREQUENTLY: Rice flour products, wheat (semolina)
