Do I need them? What gives? lol. She just kind of threw me for a loop. I mean, I don't feel as though I would become deficient if I cut out my low-carb bread...

Any thoughts or suggestions on this one?[/I]



I asked a dietician one time what nutrients you could only get from grains. She couldn't think of any. She mainly touted them as a source of "energy", i.e. calories!
