Grains today are not what they were in ancient times. They are genetically modified, with no long term data as to what the long term health consequences will be with regards to long term consumption.
Depending upon the country of origin they may have been sprayed with glyphosate and/ or atrazine. Glyphosate was originally patented for de liming boilers. The same effect is seen with regard to minerals being stripped from the soil as well as the grain.
Bayer purchased Monsanto. Glyphosate has been shown to cause lymphoma, ironically Bayer has a drug to treat lymphoma. I am sure this is pure coincidence, but it makes one look at this with a question of intent being at the heart of this purchase.
Atrazine has been shown to cause deformation in terms of androgen development and in frogs is known to feminize the males, and cause the males to sexually prefer males. Is this transferred to humans given todays woke environment?
Grains like all seeds are known to contain anti nutrients, phytates block the absorption of magnesium as well as vitamin A to name a few. So one needs to consider nutrient deficiencies and strategies to maintain the proper intercellular minerals in order to maintain proper Oxidative phosphorylation and in the case of magnesium the three hundred other reactions that magnesium is involved in the body. An example of this would be blood pressure regulation, cholesterol conversion to the hormones and enzymes, anxiety and depression are known to be tied to magnesium depletion.
If gut health is good certified organic grains might be okay, but if there are better choices available, I would personally make the better choice.
