Cornflour = carbohydrates... conclusion.

Cornflour
I wrote about it earlier same if it comes to corn. The more I read the wiser I get and believe me I learned a lot about corn during the past three weeks.
Corn contains way more carbohydrates than wheat. Did you know that? It isn't easy to bake with it, corn only is good for crumbs. A mouth filled with crumbs and that's why the flour is frequently mixed with something else. Spelled flour for example or rice flour.
Rice flour contains carbohydrates as well which means it makes you fat but the plus of rice flour is it's sticky and a great help. Spelled flour already existed 2500 years before Christ and by now over 10 if not more different kinds exist. It's still related to wheat which means it does contain gluten although these type of gluten are different from wheat. Spelled is definitely the most healthiest grain out of these four but if you can't eat gluten at all you are in trouble, big trouble. Buying it at a traditional mill doesn't make it any better if spelled isn't the only grain they accept. Millstones, those traditional ones, cannot be cleaned. Traces of gluten can be found. Still, it's worth trying or using in a mix since if it comes to it there'a no healthy food and spelled turns out to be good for the mood and who doesn't want that (you can save money buying chocolate).

Rice flour isn't as healthy as said, neither is potato flour/starch, corn (the human body cannot take the Vitamin B out of it and digest corn) and no matter what I read about it they all contain something that infects or even harms your intestines in a serious way. I would say it's no surprise if you consider humans are not herbivores and developed to do the same trick as a cow, deer, goat, or rabbit. To those who have very problematic intestines gluten-free might not be the solution. If you ask me way more is needed. A change of the menu into mainly meat, eggs, some types of vegetables and fruit might be way to save the intestines and stay healthy, provide the body with the right minerals and vitamins.

Carbohydrates.
If you know what your food contains and what you eat you may be shocked about the high amount of carbohydrates you consume with one meal only. I read a lot about carbohydrates (the wrong sugars fooling your body and prevending it from using bodyfat and slim down) and tested out how many I can have a day if I do not want to gain weight. Quest how many... It's 7 only 7 carbohydrates a day. This means if I want to save or at least reduce the damage to my intestines I need to mainly follow a carbohydrate-free diet which is good for those who have to stay away from gluten as well.
Let's be honest the humankind has plenty of food left if she skips the bread, pancakes, waffles, donuts, pizza, pasta and pie. We do not necessary need to replace it with a gluten-free flour to live a normal life.
I still join #hadil2020 and gaining weight is not the idea.

Conclusion.
If it comes to those rare occasions we, people with intestines issues, like to bake cookies or an apple pie, a mix of gluten-free grains should do the trick. What one grain has too much the other one can compensate. This way not only a lack of vitamins and minerals will be avoided but the intestinal mucosa will not be as much irritated or infected and, frequently unnoticed, illnesses like chlamydia will not ruin the last bit of health and energy left in a person's life.
What I do wonder about is why we "suddenly" have such problematic intestines. For sure it's not normal and the alarming number of people suffering from it should be a warning. One to take seriously. Can it be we simply eat too much or there are too many different kinds of food developed we stuff ourselves with? As for me, I don't longer believe in healthy food. It's proved vegetables and fruit hardly contain minerals and vitamins and the way it's cleaned, prepared, the pesticides used doesn't make it any better.
Most healthiest is to prepare everything yourself and avoid as many chemicals, trans fat, and palm fat as you can, next to gluten, medication, cigarettes. Even then it's plastic we breathe in, eat and drink, and like we all know plastic we cannot digest either.

Thank you for joining our contest. Good luck. You have #1.

And coupled with this bad eating habits that we adopt from our families, it is difficult to get rid of these practices and the worst thing is that we only become aware of this many times when we get sick ... very good analysis, congratulations for your great intellect.

Very true. We are so used to eating this that it's hard to change the bad habit especially if healthy food can't be afforded. Thanks for dropping by.
