But defenders of the new refining process argued that phosphorus in whole grains was "too acid" and was the true cause of bone loss and tooth decay. Only in recent decades has Dr. But many healthy societies consume products made from grains. Grains require careful preparation because they contain a number of antinutrients that can cause serious health problems.
Animals that nourish themselves on primarily on grain and other plant matter have as many as four stomachs.
