Food For
Life
I have gone on record to all of my
family, friends and clients, claiming that Ezekiel bread is the bread you must
eat. I have gotten tons of feed back
about how having this bread has clearly made a difference in people’s energy
levels and makes them feel fuller than their breads of the past. The sprouted grains in this bread are whole
grains that have not gone through the milling process. The bread is made from sprouted whole grains apposed
to milled flour, which most bread on our grocery store shelves is made
from.
The sprouting process removes the
outside layer of the grain and begins the sprouting process allowing the rich
nutrients to be absorbed into our bodies more efficiently. These whole grains
sustain us for longer periods of time because of all the wonderful nutrients
that are present during the digestion process.
Grains and wheat that have been milled into flour then made into bread
are so processed and refined they hit your blood stream much faster causing
your blood sugar levels to rise and fall.
This rise and fall usually leaves you hungry and looking for more
refined carbs.
With all the of the news on GMO’s and
wheat I felt it was my obligation to point out that Ezekiel Food for Life bread
has not yet been verified by the Non GMO Project. It is labeled “Organic” and their website http://www.foodforlife.com/about_us/ezekiel-49
claims NO GMO’s but they are not listed on the Non GMO Project verified list.
On their Facebook page a customer asked about it and the answer stated that
they were in the process of being verified.
I just wanted to give my friends and
family two other brands of sprouted bread that I have tried and liked, Alvarado
St. Bakery and One Degree Organic Foods.
Both can be found in the frozen food sections of your local heath food
store. There are quite a few on the
market that are Non GMO project verified. I look forward to branching out and
experimenting. Please let me know the
brands you have tried and enjoyed!
I have also copied some basic GMO
information from the Non GMO project website.
I want to be clear though . . . at the end of the day, we shouldn’t be
eating all that much out of a package or a box to begin with. Think of eating
and learning about GMO’s like this, “The
whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Aristotle
“What are GMOs?
GMOs, or “genetically modified
organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with
DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental
combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in
traditional crossbreeding.
Virtually all-commercial GMOs are engineered to
withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide.
Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the
market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any
other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems,
environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.”
“GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or
animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also
called genetic engineering, or GE). This experimental technology merges DNA
from different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal,
bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional
crossbreeding.”
Love deeply, eat mindfully and care,
