People keep mentioning sour dough bread... Can someone explain please? Is this something that some of you include in your diet?

[peril]

It is bread that is leavened by lactofermentation rather than by yeast. Weston A Price foundation promotes sourdough bread as being less harmful than yeast leavened or unleavened bread. I don't eat it

[noodletoy]

it's grain, which i don't eat it either.

Real sourdough bread is unusual in a store or bakery. You'd have to find bakeries that use authentic recipes or make it yourself. Sourdough has been bastardized by pepperidge farm.

My thought is if you have to grind it, soak it, sprout it, ferment it, bake it, etc. just to make it edible and less toxic, why eat it at all?

The WAPF does show ways so that IF you are going to eat grains you can make them less harmful. I still don't consider a "less harmful" substance worth eating.

I am gluten intolerant. Somebody would have to show me laboratory results showing that a bread product produced in this way is actually gluten-free before I would sample it.

And when I say "a bread product" I mean the exact bread product. Not some study somebody did once using a non-standard fermentation process to produce a product that is unavailable and can't be made at home.

Someone else does it for you. And, I think the fact it tastes amazing as hell is enough of a reason to make it worth eating.

Yet more sage health advice from a person who lives on drugs, cigarettes, booze, coffee, sodas, candy, and enough sugar sweetened beverages to give a hummingbird adrenal fatigue.

Yeah, IF I was going to eat bread, it would be sourdough.

I have to say, I've never been a big bread eater anyway. Just wanted to know the deal with sour dough... Thanks! Think I will be leaving it out! Have been 95% Primal for around 6 weeks now maybe longer and I don't wish to eat any bread/pasta etc. Its great. No cravings either!
