First world problems.

No body has ever died from NOT eating gluten...Try it...see how you feel..We are all different..

[Westcentralsk]

Partners, that's not the point. There is no book out there that says if you don't eat gluten you will have diabeties, cancer, hair loss?? and every other know disease. What a joke. If he just said you might feel better, you might lose weight then there would be no issue with him or this issue.

Dr. Davis is a No.1 KOOK who has done considerable damage with his blather.
Thanks W5 for exposing his bull**** tactics.

Soon the message will be "Nobody has ever died from not eating wheat products of any kind. In fact thats exactly the message that is being portrayed at this moment.


The gluten story was just the entry point.

[oneoff]

As far as I know; the consumer doesn't yet have access to "genetically modified" wheat. Frankenstein wheat by whose standards. You may just get what you wish for.

Now that doesn't apparently mean that millions of people believe the same thing.

Just proves that those "fussy" ; and may those persons take responsibility for the consequences.

Your ordinary "fussy" consumer knows just as much about most other important (or non important) issues.

If it works for any individual......fine. As for being active crusaders....the standards should be a lot higher.

"No body has ever died from NOT eating gluten...Try it...see how you feel..We are all different.. "

That would be demonstrably false.

Ever heard of starvation?

Has anyone ever looked at the connection between food-induced reactions and our scourge of debiliating inactivity, over-processing of foodstuffs and our penchant for gluttony?

So, what 15444 said is 100% correct - this is a 1st-world problem.

Summary......belief systems...left with nothing when "evangelists" and believers are given center stage.

Annecdotes are in basement of truth basket; but it sure is a pleasant diet for those who are effectively brain dead.
