Über diesen Titel
Although all my books can stand-alone, this book should be considered an addendum to my previous book, Maintenance Diet for the Modern Man.
The subject of bread and its historical significance in the diet of man required its own book. As we all have noticed, Western civilization obesity and diabetes rates have been rising over the last 70 years. I have addressed the reason why in my previous books and have advised a lifelong maintenance diet for the entire family I believe will enhance the families chances for health and prevent some of these nutritional diseases instead of merely treating them. My last book was directed to the food engineer who is responsible for obtaining, preparing, and serving food to a wide range of ages and nutritional requirements. As such, I have advised certain principles to assist this process over the long term.
I believe the basis for much of this nutritional dysfunction is based on insulin resistance. Carbohydrates drive glucose, and glucose drives insulin. I have advocated for a lower carbohydrate diet to help prevent this but have been faced with a conundrum. Historically, man has had a high carbohydrate diet. Grains in the form of bread in Western civilization has been eaten since the beginning and has served as the primary source of food preservation to prevent starvation in times of scarcity, being able to keep a population alive with bread and water alone. Despite this high carbohydrate intake, obesity and diabetes have not appeared till the present modern civilization. How can I now advise a low carb diet, when the previous 6000 years of history has been a high carb diet? I discuss the key role of bread in human history and how we incorporate this into the modern maintenance diet, designed to promote health for the entire family.
This is not a textbook, and although much of the information can be quickly verified more or less, I do give my own conclusions and thoughts which are not so easily confirmed. I am counting on your common sense to decide what you are going to do with the information I provide. This is not a cookbook, and there will be no recipes.
