今日の「お気に入り」は、最近読んだ本の中の記述。
” Most of the foods we eat nowadays are nutrient deficient.
Processing and refining remove and destroy many nutrients. Sugar, for example, has a total of zero
vitamins and minerals but contains fattening calories. White flour , likewise, has been stripped of
its vitamin- and mineral-rich bran and germ, leaving almost pure starch.
When you eat products made with white flour, you are eating primarily sugar, which is essentially
void of any nutritional value. White rice is the same; the vitamin-rich bran is removed, leaving
the white starchy portion behind. Potatoes are almost all starch. The skins contain most of the
nutrients, but how many people eat the skins with their potatoes? ”
