I still love gluten.

I will never say that.

So far as I know I have no problem with it.

Just remember, most people NEED gluten to stay healthy. This has been a public service announcement.

I always ask for extra gluten.

Three books you may want to read: Grain Brain, Eat Fat Get Thin, The Deflame Diet. Gluten is not healthy. There is a difference between gluten intolerant and gluten sensitive. I’ve been studying this subject for over 20 years.

Here is a short interview of Perlmutter who wrote Grain Brain. The journalists are knuckleheads, but what else is new?

Always like to work on my glutes.

The intolerance came about because gluteny is one of the deadly sins.

What is gluten?

I thought it was a new product from Elmer or the Gorilla, but I guess not.

I always ask for extra gluten.

This is sad! I thought gluten was being LIBERATED.

How’s the poor guy supposed to make a living if everyone gives it away for free?

I miss wheat gluten like crazy, but I don’t miss the wheezing and the coughing, or the sinus flare-ups. My allergy to grasses extends to wheat (it’s a member of the grass family.) When I avoid wheat, breathing is easier and I don’t feel like I have a cold all the time. If they ever develop a vaccine to cure allergies I am so getting the shot.

(I wonder if the FDA has to announce gluten recalls?)

If I had some gluten…..

I’d gluten in the morning

I’d gluten in the evening

All over this land….

.

Seriously though…. for the folks who have Celiac Disease, avoidance of gluten is extremely important. Some other folks suggest they have an allergy (inflammatory response) to gluten….. even though thus far the scientific evidence for this is fairly minimal. But, if folks want to avoid gluten….. that is their right and choice.

For me, I think of gluten-rich foods……… and I salivate in anticipation like Pavlov’s Dogs. :)

I was listening to an old radio program from the 1950’s and they referred to white bread as gluten bread. I’ve never heard it referred to that way anywhere else.

Gluten started it!

I’ll take mine with EXTRA gluten!

My GF is on the gluten avoidance thing. Makes it harder to find or make stuff. More than once I’ve said (a la Monty Python Spam sketch), “Can I have yours? I jus’ luv it!”
