I suppose it is true, and perhaps desirable, that it involves less industrial processing. But the more relevant fact, as far as I'm concerned, is that sprouted grain products have a lower glycemic index.GKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714377295981745087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886575137375451769.post-71020346216011227542010-03-29T18:23:18.901-07:002010-03-29T18:23:18.901-07:00Hello.

Even the organic ones are loaded with sugar.<br /><br />A good snack could be something like a slice of sprouted-whole grain bread or toast with some becel margarine or peanut butter and/or a tiny dab of jam (just enough to taste).GKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714377295981745087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886575137375451769.post-34061284964408593632010-03-22T01:35:00.115-07:002010-03-22T01:35:00.115-07:00Thank you for this entry Dr. Kroeker.
I have a qu...Thank you for this entry Dr. Kroeker.<br /><br />I have a question regarding complex carbohydrates. <br /><br />I have been trying to get my complex carbs from whole grains (and fiber) but I'm overwhelmed by all the information, having difficulty balancing good versus bad.<br />For instance, I have tried to look up good cereals. I try to get several grams of fiber and fair amount of complex carbs but cereals or other whole grain snacks (pre-packaged ones) also contain so many other chemicals (which I can not understand), large amount of salt and sugar.<br /><br />I purchased a blueberry whole grain snack because I am up late at night and need to eat something small before bed but some people online had commented that the blueberry wasn't real blueberry, warned about added artificial flavor and sugar (which is apparently worse than normal sugar) etc etc. <br /><br />Unfortunately I can not find a particular brand name snack or cold breakfast cereal that is healthy "enough" and I was hoping you could provide some insight and information that people with less education can understand.<br /><br />I am not opposed to eating fruits but even fruits have lost their taste and I can't afford organic. I've bought some fig newtons but they leave a sour taste in my mouth...<br /><br />Thank you for your helpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
