“Man had eaten bread for thousands of years. Not all of a sudden it’s bad for you?”

The bread we are eating now is very different from the bresd of thousands of years ago, even 50 years ago.

It was hybridised by a man named Norman Borlaug who changed it from a 4 ft plant to an 18 inch one. It wasn’t damaged by wind, plus they could get 3 crops in the time it used to take for one. The idea was to deal with hunger in large poor populations. Unfortunately, when it was introduced into general use in the ‘70’s they didn’t realise the changes which had been undergone by the gluten. This is the reason for the rise in gluten intolerance even for those who are not celiac.
