About wheat and cereals:

JL: We know that wheat is harmful. What do you think about other cereals?
Wheat is not the only one that contains gluten.

GCB: Wheat is by far the worst of all cereals. Behind come rice and
barley. [Then he talks about experiments with and without bread].

JL: But bread is cooked. Are the troubles caused by cooking, or by the
grain itself?

GCB: Both [he then talks about the stressometer].

JL: Is raw, sprouted wheat a "bad" aliment?

GCB: [He thinks that, although bread is far worse than sprouted wheat, the
latter shouldn't be consumed; however, he doesn't give precise arguments].

JL: What do you think of kamut?

GCB: We don't know. We all kamut producers dry their grains at high
temperature [something like 70 degree C; much more than the 40 degree C
limit that Orkos has fixed].

JL: But commercial kamut sprouts!

GCB: The fact that a grain sprouts doesn't mean it is not denatured. Some
parts of the grain may have been heat-denatured, with production of
abnormal molecules, and still, the grain remains viable.

JL: Maybe we should test the stressometer on rats fed with slightly
denatured grains.

GCB: [he doesn't answer to the question; instead, he talks about the
compared effects of whole bread and ordinary bread on rats]. He adds that
even grains that contain mercury are viable.

JL: But mercury is very different; small amounts are highly toxic.

GCB: The fact that a molecule is slightly denatured doesn't mean it is less
harmful than a very denatured one; maybe on the contrary...

JL: [I don't really agree but prefer to stop the discussion, which
becomes a bit speculative... Anyway, mercury is not a *denatured* molecule,
it is a different one...]

Best wishes,
