The immune system becomes overwhelmed and our bodies fall prey to almost all the illnesses known to man. People can live for decades without being aware they have a gluten intolerance or have LGS. Eventually this can lead to any of the various cancers. Gluten has been linked to approximately 200 different diseases. Some can be cured by going on a gluten free diet, but for many it is too late. If I sound like a crank, feel free to research this further. As far as I'm concerned, an undiagnosed gluten intolerance is disastrous and I only wish I'd heard about it decades ago. Might have saved me from a life of chronic ill-health. However, I'm thankful that I know about it now and have been able to cure my chronic fatigue by going gluten free a couple of months ago. |
You really are on this gluten kick aren't you? It's a 1 out of 5000 chance that someone is reacting to the gluten. It's only bad for people that are gluten intolerant, and that's only about one percent of the population. I HIGHLY DOUBT that every single person you posted about gluten to yesterday has an intolerance to it. Let alone you saying " it's highly likely". No, no it's not highly likely. It's a POSSIBILITY, just like any other possible scenario. So please stop scaring people for absolutely no good reason. Also please don't go around proclaiming scientific fact for anything. These type of things come and go, and are never 100% proven. Usually last for a couple years until a new fad comes along or scientists figure out that they put a decimal point in the wrong spot, and hurray, it's not only good for you again, but necessary..
