The Goddess of Wheat reigned for thousands of years. In ancient Greece she was called Demeter, and in Roman times her name was Ceres, the root word for cereal. Wheat, spelt, barley, and rye contain resistant fibers that humans cannot digest. We developed a symbiotic relationship with saccharolytic bacteria at the dawn of agriculture, which increased human health by an order of magnitude. Bacteria such as lactobacillus do have the enzymes necessary to break the bonds of this special class of complex carbohydrates, called oligosaccharides.
