So excited to share this 30-Day Free Audible Trial with you: http://www.audibletrial.com/scottrnicoll

If you have followed any of my journey you know that I LOVE reading and that audiobooks have changed my life, so when I found out I could share the gift of Audible with people I jumped. It is my first time sharing something like this and I will continue to do so because of all things I could think to share with everyone out there, it was this: books!

Today's Episode is about health and I have a look at the claims made in The Plant Paradox:

“You are what you eat, and what the things you are eating, ate” - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, M.D., The Plant Paradox

This quote got me fired up!: “Today, everyone “knows” that brown rice is healthier than white rice, yet the four billion people who use rice as their staple grain in Asia have always stripped the hull off brown rice to make it white before they eat it. Stupid? No, very intelligent; the hull has the lectins and these cultures have been removing it for thousands of years. Although I once believed that any white grain was inferior to any brown (whole) grain, I have since changed my stance. Traditionally, the Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian people have not been plagued with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions that are so common in the United States. I will go so far as to say that if you’re overweight, there’s a good chance that it’s because you’re a believer in the myth of “whole-grain goodness.” Distressingly, the renaissance of whole-grain products has reintroduced WGA and a host of other lectins back into our diet.”
