Last week, we talked about the effects of foods on blood sugar (GIs) in general, and we left the subject of bread to this week to talk about it in more detail.
Turkish society is kneaded with bread. Its genetic history is based on bread. Türkiye was a wheat warehouse. In recent years, agriculture has been left in a difficult situation, especially wheat cultivation has been prevented, and now it has been imported from foreign countries. At the same time, under the name of wheat breeding studies, the number of genetically modified chromosomes was increased up to 44. The husk(fibers) and embryo(kernel) of wheat are separated. Moreover, many chemicals have been added to the flour to whiten the color of the flour.
As such, black propaganda has been started about bread. The voices of not eating bread have been raised by almost every expert. From this point of view, experts seem to be right. Moreover, it has been found that the bread made from whitened flour passes through the digestive tract to the blood very quickly, raising the blood sugar very quickly and secreting the insulin hormone too much. Thus, we really need to move away from bread. However, we cannot do this because we have been kneading with bread for centuries.
In order to make bread useful and harmless, the first thing to do is grind the wheat with its husk and embryo and make flour. Bread is made from the obtained flour. Baker's yeast is used when making bread. A product containing plenty of fiber that does not increase blood sugar has been made and the goal has been achieved. However, research shows that there is still a lot of work to be done and the issue does not end here. Because, besides bread made from such flour, it has been revealed that iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, copper, that is, many valuable minerals of the other foods we eat prevent the absorption of many valuable minerals. that is, when baker's yeast is compared with sourdough, the mineral absorption of sourdough bread is 65% better. In other words, sourdough whole wheat flour is 65% more beneficial than baker's yeast. So, we should include such breads in our diet.
Bread made of whole wheat flour with baker's yeast prevents mineral absorption so much that it prevents iron absorption. Since it prevents the absorption of ca, mg and ca, it causes bone structure disorder, muscle cramps, deterioration of the functioning of some enzymes in the body due to zinc deficiency, etc.
Sourdough may be the choice of individuals with gluten allergy by disrupting the structure of gluten, the protein of bread. At the same time, there may be hope for individuals with celiac disease and gluten enteropathy
The chemical structure called phytic acid, which prevents mineral absorption in bread made with baker's yeast, is also present in other grains. There is more in rye flour.
So whole wheat flour is better for health.
Whole wheat flour bread is made from genetically modified wheat varieties. Is there any genetically modified wheat? There is a wheat variety that has been grown wild in Anatolia since ancient times. WILD WHEAT. This wheat has not been genetically modified yet. It has 14 chromosomes. It grows in Kastamonu region. GI, that is, the value of raising blood sugar is quite low, it regulates insulin secretion.
The municipality of Bursa (BESAŞ) has made a very good bread from einkorn wheat. You can find it at BESAŞ sales kiosks.
If starchy foods, which have high blood sugar raising effects, are eaten in shell, their GI blood sugar raising effects are reduced. However, the substance called phytic acid, which is in the shell of wheat and prevents mineral absorption, is also found in the shells of other grains. crusty Rice corn oats brown pasta like wholemeal bread. They cause anemia and bone disorders. The shells or the shells added to it (bran) reduce the blood sugar raising values of these products, but also impair mineral absorption. We should not include these foods in our diet.
The human body needs energy of primary importance. It also provides energy from the easiest carbohydrates (starchy products. As an energy source, get only whole wheat flour made with sourdough bread. Einkorn wheat bread made with sourdough is the best choice.
