Catalyst ABC Prograam Nov 2014



this fellow has some interesting comments to folllow up later

The great scientist Prof Louis Kervran ( nominated for a nobel prize in 1975) made the comment in his book" Breads Biological Transmutations" Nutritionist' & Dieticians only touch the surface of the benefits of Carbohydrates to the human body, I break down every vitamin and mineral in grain and explain the benefits to the human body both inside and out
All participants on the Catalyst programme failed to mention what type of carbohydrate they were referring to and there is a vast difference. If they were referring to starch carbohydrates where the bran & germ have been removed from the grain ( called the imposter carb) and which represents 95% of all carbs sold, they were on the money.
If they were referring to complex ( complete) carbs, they couldn't have been further from the truth
Bread contains more nutrients per weight than meat, milk, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables (Thomas, 1976).

In its unrefined state bread could supply 800 calories and 30 grams of protein per person were it evenly distributed worldwide (Davis, 1981). This amount would also supply a 25 to 49 year old man with 30% of his energy requirements and 49% of his protein requirements (Health & Welfare, 1990).

      Yes Mauricio and thank you, the link you posted is pretty compelling evidence on the benefits of Carbohydrates.

      When I eat my 100% freshly milled organic whole grain bread, made with 3 ingredients ( freshly milled organic grain, filtered water & Celtic salt) and based on the work of Louis Kervran, I know how good I feel and how this bread sustains me for long periods

    I am confused by your reference to Kervran as he was a little published, barely recognised scientist who did some interesting work but was hardly 'great'.!

      Jenny, I think you should do more research before commenting on Kervran he was a giant in science.
      Just because many of his books were written in French not English, doesn't mean to say he wasn't well published. He was and his list of books mentioned below are testament to that. In addition he had many papers published as well
      As well as being nominated for a Nobel prize here are some of his other credentials.He was far more informed on Carbohydrates than any of the professionals mentioned on the Catalyst programme
      Can I ask you, have you read any of his books, or used any of his transmutation methods yourself
      Kervran was born in Quimper, Finistère (Brittany). He had received a degree as a physics engineer in 1925.[2] In WWII he was part of the French Resistance. He was a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, Director of Conferences of the Paris University, Member of Conseil d'Hygiene de la Seine, a Member of the Commission du Conseil Supérieur de la Recherche Scientifique (1966). He was the recognised expert on radiation poisoning for the French government since 1945.

how come they didn't interview peter siddle, who eats 20 bananas a day with no weight issues. why do you cherry pick the one cricketer (so 1 in 11??) that is on this diet. he also can't stop getting out lbw. maybe they are related?

jokes aside, they have fed you one half of the story. that's not to say low-carb diets might work, or be beneficial, but a show based on "science", should present a balanced arguement.

also, saturated fat is still bad for you

also, when Professor Noakes tells you that we don't need to carbohydrate because our liver produces it, then, by his logic, our diet only need to consist of the 6 essential amino acids, and 2 essential fatty acids (which aren't saturated fats by the way). hardly a logical argument, but who needs facts when you want to be famous
