Dr. Zee:If bread is bad for you, then why The French are So Thin? | डॉक्टर ज़ी

In this video I’m going to answer a Question. Someone asked me, is bread bad for you? If it is, why are the French so thin?

This question comes up quite often. First of all, there are fat people in France. Not everyone is thin. But there’s a big difference between the European countries, especially France and even Italy, and Pakistan.

The French consume a lot more fat; four times as much butter and sixty percent more cheese. They eat 180 grams of fat from animal sources as compared with Pakistanis who eat just 70g. In other words, in France they eat a lot more saturated fats. In Pakistan we consume way more vegetable oils, like corn and soy, which are GMO and can lead to insulin resistance

They eat three times more Meat. In France they tend to keep to their traditional foods and mostly eat traditional foods. They have strict purity laws, less sugar and less snacks.

And they don’t allow fortification of foods like is done in here. We fortify with iron and synthetic vitamins. I really believe this is why people don’t get digestive issues when they eat grains from European countries, because our grains are fortified and they bind up your colon.

Iron interferes with the microbial life in your gut. It’s very oxidative. I did another video explaining how iron can contribute to insulin resistance and even cause diabetes. Iron causes a lot of health problems, especially because of oxidation. Your risk of Alzheimer’s and heart disease increases.

If you look at the studies on these synthetic antioxidants you’ll see they aren’t very effective, certainly not as much as antioxidants found in food.

Some studies say consuming synthetic vitamins or synthetic vitamins that are added to food, actually increases their oxidation, leading to inflammation and potentially insulin resistance.

In summary, the answer to the question is bread bad for you? Is this: yes the French consume more bread but it isn’t fortified, and they consume more fat and high quality foods.
