I think the biggest problem with American grains is the glyphosate sprayed on it to ripen it all at the same time and to dry it out. It messes up people's guts.

I think it’s more.
We are Stone Age cavemen when it comes to understanding the microbiome, soil health, and the cyclic systems of creation.
Actually scratch that. Men from the past who lived in caves knew more about this than we do.
Example: Ivermectin is a molecularly isolated form of a soil bacteria. These are the kinds of things we kill with industrial farming techniques
It certainly does a ton of damage. But the gluten in wheat/rhy/barley literally atrophies all the villi off your gut walls, leaving smooth scar tissue, lowering your nutrient absorption rate from 98% to 3, 2, and 1%. And one wonders why people develop autoimmune diseases, white hair, thin skin and nails and all the rest.
Yes. And all that happens because we destroy the generational microbiome which digests those grains in the west. The people who blame it on the grains are also missing the bigger picture.
The glyphosate destroys the gut biome including the Ackermansia that causes a thick mucus covering of the gut wall exposing it to damage and causing a leaky gut. The glyphosate allows the gluten to cause more damage. They are both important, but together they are so much worse than either alone.
