One problem: Non-celiac gluten sensitivity may not even exist. We know that some people have gut problems that clear up when they avoid all wheat, but it’s not at all clear that gluten is the deciding factor. In fact, Peter Gibson, the Australian researcher whose early studies were the first to raise the gluten warning flag, has done follow-up studies that now have him of the opinion that it is certain sugars in wheat (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharides, for those taking notes) that are the actual culprits. If he’s correct, there will be few places for those with unpleasant gastrointestinal reactions to hide, since the sugars in question are present in a vast array of food items, including fruits, veggies and dairy. Unless you’re ready to cut out everything from onions and apples to ice cream and beer, it’s hopeless.
This is an interesting article about gluten. This caught my attention:

If you have attended one of my presentations, you know that I talk about the "Main Street Diet". On my Main Street, I have three CVS pharmacies within one mile of each other. The above picture reflects a contributing factor. CVS and Big Pharma love the Main Street Diet. It's horrific for our health and great for their bottom line. Makes me think of this cartoon.This is "must-see TV" for men. Hard to believe: Many of us are over-tested, over-diagnosed, and ultimately over-treated. In a happy song, James McCormack provides the information about .... choosing wisely. Ingredients: 1 Banana (warm in microwave for 35-40 seconds), 5 tablespoons plain or vanilla yogurt, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder ... blend for a few seconds and top off with 5 fresh raspberries. Optional: teaspoon of Chia seeds or Flax seeds and for additional sweetness, add two dates.
This simple recipe is delicious and will end your cravings for ice cream! |
