nobody but bakers ever heard of gluten not that long ago, but suddenly everyone's all on about it and products line the shelves shouting their gluten-freeness. There's a name for that hysteria where everyone suddenly gets the latest fashionable disease or condition.

All the unpronouncable shit that actually does harm us is still there, with things like carbs and saturated fats that some should worry about there only in small print by government mandate.

It's a wonder any of us are still alive at all. And I am not in the least a conspiracy theorist or health nut about these things-- just getting really, really annoyed at how difficult it is for anyone, much less a diabetic, to find sensible, wholesome food.

That's an awfully small group of test subjects Warpy May 2014 #4

I agree a larger study should be done. HuckleB May 2014 #10

How does a study that the article describes as "small" prove something does not affect merrily May 2014 #7

You do realize that the study that showed a possibility of gluten sensitivity was even smaller... HuckleB May 2014 #9

Actually, I am disagreeing with the premise that this particular study showed much of anything. merrily May 2014 #14

That's some denialism. HuckleB May 2014 #16
