Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a new book, "The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide," which she just discussed on Hannity. She said that even those who don't have Celiac can benefit from eating Gluten-Free. She heard from some non-Celiacs who tried the diet and reported improved well-being and energy.

This association has been suspected — and disputed — for some time. It is good to see credible evidence being developed so as to resolve the question. Thanks for the post.

What about when someone is paranoid and delusional about the dangers of gluten? What causes that?

[Creme Brulee]

Oops, sorry link didn't work. Try this Link to Book

Good point. Wheat and barley were the cereal grains that civilization were built upon. When people have children who have a mutation that keeps them from digesting them, then they should keep them away from gluten and breeding.

The rest of us should just go along on our merry way.

I only like LIQUID bread.

thanks, bfl

Ah, yes, liquid bread! Had some Sierra Nevada Wet Hop Ale myself tonight!

I have spent a great deal of time in Germany over the past few years with an number of American ex-pats living there...they swear there beer made there in local breweries is made with so much wheat and barely that it is the equivalent of eating a loaf of bread with every stein...tell me that’s why they don’t pee as much as with our American beer...Don’t know if it’s true, but it sounds fun while we are sitting around roasting pigs and drinking till late in the night...and no ugly feelings in the a.m. and whether psychosomatic or not, I do need to go less frequently when there :)

[IrishPennant]

they swear there their beer made there...typo - sorry

[hunter112]

...tell me that’s why they don’t pee as much as with our American beer.

Well, there's typical American beer, and then there's American craft brewed beer! I would guess that your German friends would be able to tell the difference.

Good things can sometimes come out of bad beginnings. Say for example FDR creating the highway system. The highway system is great, but it doesn't excuse FDR.

...breeding

You can start with your children.

There are definitely reports that suggest that gluten-sensitivity is way more common than reported.

What about when someone is ignoring and mocking the dangers of gluten? What causes that?

Well, you don’t have to worry about this problem with (formerly-)American (pseudo-)beers like Budweiser.

There’s no gluten in rice!

BTW, I just had a gluten-loaded homebrew. :-)

[SIDENET]

MMM...

Delicious gluten.

Sarcasm.
