"But this mainstream sitcom depiction of gluten-freedom is a huge step
in the right direction . . . because modern wheat is unsuitable for
consumption for ANY human!"


I tend to be the one who says "Moo" in response to being fed cattle
fodder. Being mildly wheat intolerant normally has me one of the most
biased in the room. Even I figure the current anti-wheat fad is over
blown. Wheat or gluten is a problem for maybe ten percent. Low carb is
beneficial for at least fifty percent.

I think most of the benefit of this current fad comes from the wrong
reason. It's lower carb without being called lower carb. I bet the
gluten free fad will pass, people will eat cattle fodder again, feel
worse, but because they don't know the actual cuse is total carbs they
won't be able to repeat it.

Contrast and compare with the ADA's recommendation to eat lot's of
"healthy whole grains."


Those studies are crazy. They compare a diet high in refined grains
with a diet high in whole grains and from that study conclude that whole
grains are beneficial.

Show me a study that compares a diet high in non-tubre root vegetables
with a diet high in whole grains. Does anyone actually think oatmeal is
better for people than carrots? Yeah, don't expect this study any time
soon.
