EBA IS HEALTHIER THAN WHEAT and here’s why:
The wheat we have now is not the same wheat our ancestors had. The wheat we have now is genetically much different. Starting from over 50 years ago, in a bid to get disease resistant wheat with greater and higher yields there was selective cross-breeding and hybridization which resulted in shorter, stockier plant with a heavier seedbed. This also resulted in wheat with much reduced mineral density, and high gluten.
Gluten is the number one cause of gut inflammation in humans and it’s even worse in people living with celiac disease as it doesn’t only trigger gut inflammation, it also causes intestinal damage. Gluten over time can damage the lining of the intestinal tract resulting in what is known as “leaky gut” as there is malabsorption of calcium, iron, trace minerals like zinc, etc.
Gluten also fuels the progression of several diseases like diabetes, glaucoma, cancer, stroke. Inflammation caused by gluten affects the entire body in diverse ways even your immune system. (This is why wheat or semo are bad for people who are living with diabetes).
The wheat flour (eg semo) people take is HIGHLY processed. Due to the processing it’s stripped of even the little nutrients it may have possessed so what do they do? They fortify it with artificial vitamins and nutrients, some which your body cannot properly absorb. L
Now, let’s look at it from the calories angle:
100g of Eba will give you about 98.7-160 calories.
100g of wheat will give you 350+ calories.
It doesn’t end there, It’s important you know that modern wheat contains a particular wheat polypeptides called “gluteomorphins” which trigger the parts of your brain that feel pleasure, causing an opiate-like response every single time you eat a food containing wheat. This makes you want to eat more.
When it comes to “Wheat vs Garri”, which is healthier, garri is far, and I mean, way more healthier than wheat. Garri is less processed, it doesn’t contain inflammatory proteins, more satiating, less calories, and richer in natural nutrients. And yes, wheat and wheat products are not good for people who are diabetic.
@ShoeGuyOtis here is why wheat is bad for people living with diabetes.
