This is Eat or Die: Stories from the Human Table — a show from Renegade Health Group about the things we eat, the history behind them, and what the science actually says when the marketing gets out of the way.

Each episode, we take one ingredient — a nutrient, a food, a molecule — and we follow it. Through history. Through biology. Through your daily life.

Today we're talking about grains — the food that builthuman society.

We're going to cover what grains actually are, how they remade the human world multiple times over across ten thousand years of history, what The Professor has to say about what happens inside your body when you eat them, and — perhaps most importantly — why the grain you're probablyeating most is the one you'd be better off eating least.
