Episode notes
Bread Transformed Into An Industrial Product
- Modern supermarket bread is an industrial product built to survive shelves, not digestion.
- Ben Azadi argues this transformation explains bloating, brain fog, and metabolic harm.
Wheat Was Engineered For Profit, Not Health
- Modern hybridized wheat was engineered for yield and baking, not human digestion or nutrient density.
- This change increased starch and stronger gluten, which Ben links to more inflammation and metabolic problems.
Fermentation Used To Pre-Digest Bread
- Traditional bread underwent long fermentation which reduced gluten and antinutrients and improved mineral absorption.
- Ben points out modern bread is mixed and baked in hours, losing those digestive benefits.
