If you're trying to avoid inflammatory conditions, T2D, etc; it's not ideal and could still trigger arthritis flare-ups, etc. It's probably the least-bad grain, but still a grain. |
Well stated. Similar to how I feel and I treat rice accordingly. It's a starchy grain that has nowhere near the negative effects that wheat has on me, but I treat it with respect and occasionally indulge in rare cases when eating Asian cuisine. I keep it one and done because I, too, would be inclined to overdo it. |
