You've probably seen Oprah's recent Weight Watchers commercial about how she loves bread and getting to eat it every day on her Weight Watchers plan.
And while grains can be hard to resist, from fancy artisan bread with rosemary baked into it to a steaming plate of spaghetti topped with meaty tomato sauce, unfortunately they're addictive and cause a slew of health problems.
So while Oprah tells you it's okay to have bread every day, I suggest you limit your grains.
Now, you may be asking, if grains are so bad, what about rice, and specifically, what about Kare's Micronized Purple Rice?
Good question.
First, rice in general is the least problematic of all the grains. Unlike corn and soy, most of which is genetically engineered, most rice is not.
And rice does not have any of the three problematic aspects of wheat: gluten, wheat germ agglutinin, or amylase trypsin inhibitors.
Wheat is the most problematic of all the grains because of these three factors, and more and more people have problems with wheat because of changes in modern agriculture.
Wheat causes gut inflammation in most people.
The second reason Kare's Micronized Purple Rice (MPR) is healthful despite being made from grain is that this powerful powder comes from only the heart of the purple rice grain. The husk and most of the starch are eliminated, and only the precious nutrients remain.
MPR comes from an heirloom strain of purple rice grown in Thailand, a country that doesn't allow GMOs -- genetically modified organisms. (The whole purple rice sold in stores often comes from China, and much of it contains contaminants such as arsenic from pesticides.)
Every batch of Kare's Micronized Purple Rice is meticulously tested. It is processed in Thailand and bottled in the United States, in an FDA-approved facility. This is the purest food you can put in your body. I've been eating it for two years, and I've done nothing but anti-age and improve my health!
To make MPR, they extract the nutrients needed to regenerate our cells. These nutrients include polysaccharides, which your cells need for energy; polypeptides (every amino acid!), which your cells need to create healthier new cells; and lots of anthocyanin antioxidants, which repair damage.
It actually takes 60 pounds of purple rice to get 1 pound of these precious nutrients!
Then, and this is really the big secret to why it works so well -- it is milled down to the size of a micron using a multi-million-dollar machine. And as new cells are generated, they are healthier, which helps our bodies become healthier and improves many conditions.
It comes down to this: Eat your Micronized Purple Rice, but limit all other grains.
Here's why:
