> Bread Dread: Are you Really Gluten Intolerant?
I’m not gluten intolerant, however, I have bad gastro problems with GMO wheat products. The non-GMO stuff is fine. When Monsanto modified the wheat to make it toxic to insects, whatever made them think it wouldn’t be toxic to some humans? Since the toxin that make it undesirable to insects is bound to the gluten, people think they are that they are gluten intolerant, when actually they are GMO intolerant.
GMO wheat is not sold in the USA. Since the 80’s modern wheat has been developed so that it has properties of other grains normally not consumed by humans. From what I have read, this is mainly what is causing digestive problems when commercial wheat products are consumed. (See Davis, WHEAT BELLY)
GMO soy beans and corn, however, are consumed in the US.
