[Avodah] New Brachos

[Ben Waxman]

Or if I can say this differently: What is the havamina that I have to change 
the way I eat in order not to have the safeiq? Toasted whole grains have 
been around for awhile, a long time. Has anyone ever brought up this issue 
before?

When I was in yeshiva, once there was some question about an inyan in which 
the Rambam was machmir and the other rishonim were meiqil. The SA paskened 
the qula. Someone asked if we should go by the Rambam anyway. The Rav 
answered that to be machmir to a da'at yahid in the Rishonim is something 
that someone like Rav Chaim could do, others shouldn't go there.
