But what about the organic wheat and dairy here that people are unable to manage.
I am sure it is part of one democrat nefarious plan or another
Glycophosphate-ready, gene altered wheat.
Fewer varieties of plants.
Bromates in flour here, but illegal elsewhere.
....
Wife had issues with dairy here in the States.
Ate dairy in Portugal every day with no problems.
Istopped gluten over 12 years ago when i was finishing my degree. Within weeks my thinking was clearer.
I found out a few,years ago I have a cutaneous B12 allergy. Lots of b12 added to bread products.
Do I have a gluten problem.. dunno. After decades in the lab,i know better than to waste money on expensive testing.
There are a lots of additives in bread. It may not be glutein the last two years, i have allowed mysrlf one tiny brownie or doughnut every couple months.
Plus there are questions as to the, say, pesticides on our fruits and vegetables not only here, but also coming up from Latin America.
And our fish from the Far East? Yikes!
Anything for human consumption from China?
glyphosate can be found in most products in the USA - honey, oats, flour, anything made of corn or soy
Its something the big food companies like General Mills know about, but there’s nothing they can do, as its in most raw materials they buy - and the FDA says its OK.
I wonder how many assertions about gluten and food processing could withstand double blind clinical trials. The greatest advance in medicine in the 20th Century was the double blind clinical trial.
It’s all in zee head. imho
I think it's a fad. Try to find a geographical distribution map of those who "suffer" from it and I think you'll find it concentrates in those areas where food trends play a social role. I have a friend whose wife says she is gluten-intolerant, and as a result, he says he has to eat bread that tastes like cardboard. He found a new brand of gluten-free bread, substituted regular bread in the wrapper and brought it home. She's been eating it now for almost two months with no problems. His problem now: Do I tell her or not?
But never overseas. Something is being done to our food supply.
Saw a sign in the booze isle of the grocery story bragging that Smirnoff Vodka is gluten free.
The other part is that people “develop” intolerances based upon what is the cool thing to be intolerant of.
A few minutes ago, I was looking at some restaurant review in the area where I’m on vacation. In one review, the Yelp reviewer mentions being Gluten Intolerant three times in two sentences.
I’m leading a weeklong boys camp. I’m vey clear that I don’t care at all about food preferences. I only care about DIAGNOSED FOOD ALLERGIES.
I read a book decades ago that said Finland ran out of wheat in WW1. That resulted in many mentally ill people becoming normal, who were then released from mental institutions.
I think I read that wheat in Europe is different.
I think either the Us or European wheat has some extra ingredient, which could either be the culprit, or perhaps a mitigating factor, depending on which wheat contains it.
I spend a great deal of time in France. French wheat has less gluten than American wheat.
Look up “Leaky Gut Syndrome” - short of it is overuse of antibiotics kills beneficial gut bacterial, allowing yeast to spread. Yeast risomes penetrate intestinal wall, allowing food particles to hit the blood stream, which triggers an immune response to those foods.
Good news is it can be “cured” by going off wheat (or whatever triggers it) for several months, while taking probiotics (or just eating lots of yogurt).
GMO
Asked and Answered, plus I would wager that the varieties of grains and other things grown there are older ones versus the mutations we are sold
>>Our food is more processed than it is overseas.<<
That is why diabetes has become an American epidemic and there is no stopping it.
