You’re right I did make that jump, it was based on the content of the original post that your comment was for. Just sharing my thoughts on the narrative.
You’re also right that cereal isn’t my only food but that doesn’t really change the point I was making. If I ate some lead for breakfast every day and the rest of my diet was ‘perfect’ I’d still get lead poisoning and become sick from it.
I think the lead example if far fetched because whether in tiny amounts or large amounts it’s explicitly toxic to human tissue. Whereas the problem with cereals and constant ingestion of grains is the ceaseless minor damage building up over very extended periods. It’s mostly that the body never has time to repair the inflammation. But also some people can handle much more than others and your genetics and where in the world your ancestors are from matter too. Some people have integrated certain foods for tens of thousands of years, some were only exposed within a few hundred years. I fully recognize the picture isn’t perfectly identical for everyone.
Completely agree.
