Pollan explains that grindstones were once the way to 'refine' flour & oil, and that more fiber & nutrients are left in those that are not refined by modern chemical processes. Newer oils tend to have more additives, too.
Try using avocado, sesame, peanut or extra virgin olive oils for cooking. Again, avoid refined white flour (so similar to sugar!) and try to eat more whole grains and oils like these that contain more favorable fatty acids.
That's it for today - Short & sweet! But I'll try to get one more blog post in before the Labor Day weekend. Enjoy this holiday with family & friends!
