We are omnivores because we eat meat and vegetables, we do not eat meat and vegetables because we are omnivores.
Fears of gluten are being used to distract the sheeple from the real risks of fluoridation.
Not really. If we weren’t omnivores then we wouldn’t be able to digest both plants and meat whether we wanted to or not.
Also, arguments that we aren’t meant to eat meat because it causes heart disease and the like appear to be at least partly untrue:
Sounds more like more evidence for avoiding processed food (in this case, meat with nitrites and other preservatives added, not that I think all processed food is bad, just those with unnatural additives) than avoiding meat, although of course that doesn’t mean you should eat as much meat as you want since you need a balanced diet, but some groups like the Inuit seem to get along fine on virtually nothing but meat.
I’m sure I’m stating the obvious here, however I feel compelled to state to gluten free…
Your “reason” for typing like a teenager trying to impress a girl is embarrassing. You say you are suffering from chronic pain. If that’s so, your posting wouldn’t be so verbose and long,
You are typing to be annoying, pure and simple. Your posts are very tough to read. I hope you figure it out, and people stop answering your posts.
Until then, I guess u wil du yer best 2 b u-neek.
This. Otherwise, Broomstick, how are YOU doing? 
And rightly so - testimony that cannot stand that treatment is worthless (and perhaps worthless even if it can). In fact, there’s a high degree of suspicion, controversy and skepticism of testimony given IN court, or else it would be worthless - so I’m not even sure you have a point here.
Damning with faint praise. Gluten free bread is horrible.
I’m glad it exists, and as a product, is steadily improving, so that gluten-sensitive people can have something to dunk in their soup, but for the rest of us, it’ll never be as good as the real thing.
If gluten poisoning has no symptoms and diagnostic tests for it aren’t reliable, how would they tell that such a pill is working?

The side effects. It makes people spontaneously explode.
That’s the beauty of it. It doesn’t DO anything.
At our Diabetes Superconference last week, there was a conference that talked about the link between type 1 and celiac. I did not attend because my type 1 daughter is not gluten intolerant. I do know that people with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of celiac: but according to DLife’s website, only 8-10% of type 1 diabetics have celiac. Type 1 diabetics comprise about 10% of diabetics: 90% are type 2. I don’t follow your logic.
DLife: the Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Diet
Scientific American: Diabetes and Celiac
WebMD: Link between Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac
My Google search was simply, “Diabetes and Celiac.” Most links specifically mentioned type 1 diabetes. I have not found one yet that specifically mentions type 2.
Nothing better has shown up in the past 80-some years? Not even the Dope?
There does appear to be an elevated risk for a number of autoimmune disorders among people with Type I diabetes, not specific to celiacs disease.
I will not forgive the physician who gave us an unnecessary week of distress when he suggested, baselessly that my son, who has type 1 diabetes, likely also had celiacs disease.
Gluten free, may I ask you a question? Are there cults that you can think of that believed patently silly ideas, and even spent time attempting to win adherents? Have you ever thought about why they did so, and how their systems of information sharing fostered the persistence of their beliefs? If you could have intervened to help interrupt those systems, what would you have suggested that they do differently?
Nope. Sliced bread is all sorts of awesome.
seems logical to me.
I read in a newspaper lately (no references there) that the body only gets 20% of it’s vitamin D from food. They were saying that 30 minutes a day in daylight would be enough to get the other 80%. For someone who lives somewhere that gets lots of sunshine, this is not a problem. For somewhere that gets a lot less sunshine - or even daylight in the short winter days - I presume that’s when skin colour becomes important. I also read lately (also newspaper) reports of very dark skinned people getting rickets in Northern Europe.
When you think about it, in the winter, many people dont see daylight at all - during the week at any rate. Not sure how that would possibly express itself in terms of health.
The possible connection between wheat consumption and the various autoimmune disorders involves gluten/gliadin attaching to the transport molecule CXCR3, which then activates zonulin release into the cell membranes, thereby dissolving the tight junctions between the intestinal epithelial cells. This increases intestinal paracellular permeability, a.k.a. “leaky gut”, opening the door for autoimmunity and systematic inflamation.
I was borderline insulin resistant for years secondary to another condition before being found out to have issues with gluten. As a child my parents were told I was suspected of being Celiac but the testing was not available back then and even if it’d been, toddlers can fall thru cracks on testing because the immune systems haven’t had a chance to develop the response which is what the tests aim to find. The immune systems response to ingestion of gluten. The insulin resistance is considered a pre diabetic condition as explained to me. Insulin, testosterone /hormones and
neurotransmitters are in a loop. Some of my levels were abnormally elevated. The gluten it turns out was fueling this. Medication to alter the elevation was minimally successful, it barely touched things. Removing gluten made an impact the medicine failed to. My relative survived cancer of the pancreas, intestines and other internal organs…he also gluten intolerant. It was not communicated that this is genetic nor the importance of eliminating it. It is not a mistake the Atkins diet induced so many alterations in chemistry for so many and became popular…Im not sure mostly meat all the time is the best idea but the diet was virtually free of gluten( discluding the packaged products, seasonings in food etc).Certain health conditions lend towards specific health issues and certain diets lend towards fulfilling the conditions in notable ways; I refer people to the groups, authors mentioned because this is scientifically supported. The author of recognizing Celiac disease signs symptoms assoc disorders & complications has compiled existing research and with considerable effort placed the findings all in this manner in a single place. To make accessing the information easier…to help with its digestion. The book doesn’t emphasize eliminating gluten from the earth, but it doesn’t promote it for valid reason. I direct any dissent back to the cited resources because that’s what they are there for, to teach. It is not out of malice that I post this information. It certainly is not to stir dissent or controversy. After reading some forums, I can see it is difficult @times to gather meaning by reading what people write. I am no exception. I may not be the best communicator and admit this. But what I am sharing is valid. Also well intended.
Issues with gluten are vastly UNDERdiagnosed and prevalence is estimated to be higher than what is noted. THIS is the most important point I have been trying to make.
What do you mean by ‘vastly underdiagnosed’ though?
If, say, 1 in 100,000 people are properly diagnosed with ailment X, whereas in truth, 1 in 10,000 people are really suffering the condition, then the problem is being underdiagnosed by a factor of ten - which sounds (and maybe is) significant, but at the same time, 99.99 % of people will never suffer ailment X
ETA: the above numbers are only intended to illustrate the math and semantics, not represent the reality of whatever the stats are on gluten problems.
