Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. This week we have a question from Staci. Let’s give it a listen. Staci: Hello my name is Staci. Thank you so much, Chris for all you do. I absolutely love your website and your podcast. I use it as a resource for myself and for my patients. I'd like to ask a question that I really tried to research very hard and I've had trouble because most of the research on whole grains compares it to the regular SAD diet with processed flours, the white stuff, the sugar. So it's really hard because the evidence will of course say that whole grains are better. But I want to know if outside of food sensitivities, are gluten free, whole grains that are unprocessed, not turned into flours, things like quinoa, rice, brown rice, things that you're cooking in a pot and eating essentially, are they inflammatory? Are they bad for our microbiome? I haven't seen evidence to support this. I think that if people have a food sensitivity to it, and for sure that happens especially with IBD and other autoimmune conditions, it's very common to have food sensitivities even to gluten free whole grains. But outside of having a food sensitivity to it, is there evidence that everyone should be off of gluten free, whole unprocessed grains? I haven't been able to see that. Is it true that they're inflammatory for those that don't have an immune reaction because it's a food sensitivity for them? Is it true that they're not good for the microbiome? The research that I've seen shows that it improves biodiversity, the microbiome, whole grains. So that would be what I'd like to ask you today. If anyone can help me with this question, I think it could be you. You do mention that the Paleo is the template. And I think that that might be part of the answer. It's a good place to start, but not necessarily everyone needs to be off of them -- off of whole grains or legumes or things like that. Especially if they're prepared in the right way. So that's my question for you today. Sorry it's a little long-winded. Thank you. Chris: Okay, Staci, thanks for sending your question. I'm going to expand on this a little bit and talk about legumes as well as grains because I often get questions about whether legumes can be part of a healthy diet. Of course, the Paleo dogma holds that we should never eat grains or legumes.
