Wheat germ..? page

[LauraNJ]

Wheat germ provides 3.4 mg of zinc and will not disrupt my omega 3 to 6 balance.. what would be the negatives of eating wheat germ?

-Thanks!

well, it's got gluten in it for starters, so it's tough to digest. it's not something that grok would have eaten, for second, if you're trying to go strict paleo/primal. and finally, there are other substitutes (like milled flaxseed), so it's not a "necessity" IMO.
