Planning for childrens- grain free diet

[Guest guest]

I have never heard this theroy before, but it got me thinking about

what I do know or have heard about including:

 

1. Most corn in America today is GMO and thus hard for the bodt to

digest

 

2. one of the primary treatments suggested for Autistic, ADD, ADHD

kids is a GFCF diet, gluteen being a wheat product...soy free is on

the rise too.

 

3. everyone is recommending probiotics....

 

 

So help me, someone, synthisize this information....grain, in

general, and especially for infertility, is bad for our health?

Probiotics help but they are like a bandaide and not a real solution?

<Many of the mood / behavior problems in our children, and maybe even

us as adults, are caused by what we put in our mouth (I mean this as

a grain-addicted society)?

 

Is there no one regulating / monitoring this? Why would anyone let

this happen or continue?

 

Maybe someone wants the majority of us crazy or infertile to promote

their better interest???

 

As for fertility, there is a great book and website called Garden of

fertility by Katie Singer. She has some great advice and health tips

too.

The FDA only requires that grains be tested for aflotoxin in this

country because aflotoxin is one of the most carcinogenic substances

known.

There is no safe amount in our diet, yet it is allowed at reduced

levels. In other countries where it is not controlled at all, many

have died from liver cancer. Who knows what it is doing to our health

here??? Arrowhead Mills does test their products for this one toxin.

 

There are many other fungal toxins (mycotoxins)that can be in our

food. They can have a variety of effects on our health. Remember

last year when 74 dogs died from eating dog food? It was found

to be caused by mold contaminated corn in the dog food. If you

notice your dog or cat throwing up after eating the commercial

food you bought for it, it might be because of a mycotoxin in

the food....Ochratoxin, also known as vomitoxin because it makes

them throw up. (not sure I spelled those right...will have to

look it up)

 

Several doctors with the World Health Organization wrote a series

of books about the health consequences of mycotoxins. You can

read some interesting excerpts if you type " fungalbionics " (without

the quotation marks) into your search engine.

Zearalenone could be the culprit when fertility can be effected.

info here: (scroll down to zearalenone)

Zearalenone ), a secondary metabolite from Fusarium graminearum...

....it sufficiently resembles 17ß-estradiol, the principal hormone

produced by the human ovary, to allow it to bind to estrogen

receptors in mammalian target cells

Zearalenone is better classified as a nonsteroidal estrogen or

mycoestrogen. Sometimes it is called a phytoestrogen.

The zearalenones are biosynthesized through a polyketide pathway by

Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium equiseti, and

Fusarium crookwellense. All these species are regular contaminants

of cereal crops worldwide

....An association between moldy grain consumption and

hyperestrogenism in swine has been observed since the 1920s;

modern work shows that dietary concentrations of zearalenone as low

as 1.0 ppm may lead to hyperestrogenic syndromes in pigs; higher

concentrations can lead to disrupted conception, abortion, and other

problems. Reproductive problems have also been observed in cattle and

sheep.

 

The reduced form of zearalenone, zearalenol, has increased estrogenic

activity. A synthetic commercial formulation called zeranol (Ralgro)

has been marketed successfully for use as an anabolic agent for both

sheep and cattle.

In 1989, zeranol was banned by the European Union, but it is still

used in other parts of the world.

Zearalenone has also been used to treat postmenopausal symptoms in

women, and both zearelanol and zearalenone have been patented as oral

contraceptives. It has been claimed that the high frequency of early

menarche in Puerto Rico might be due to zearalenone and related

compounds in the human diet; however, studies by the Food and Drug

Administration do not support this hypothesis.

 

Recently, endocrine (hormone) disrupters have received a lot of

public attention and are widely believed to reduce male fertility in

human and wildlife populations but it is not clear how much the

zearalenones contribute to the total environmental load of

xenoestrogens. Sometimes, hormone disrupters are labeled

environmental toxicants, further muddying the distinction between a

compound that can cause death (toxin) and a compound that has other

pharmacological activities.

 

Extensive reviews of Canadian and Scandinavian epidemiological data

have concluded that the risk to human populations is minimal. The

recommended safe human intake of zearalenone is estimated to be 0.05

µg/kg of body weight per day (147). Zearalenone levels in foodstuffs

are not yet regulated anywhere (97). Nevertheless, because of its

genuine biological potency and regular dietary cooccurrence with true

mycotoxins such as the fumonisins and trichothecenes, it would not be

prudent to ignore the potential of zearalenone to cause adverse

health effects.

Be also careful of cat food that is used for 'hairball' control. The

cellulose in it will also make cats vomit very badly.
