Seriously, folks,
 
The point of this video is  very well taken.

I look for evidence of celiac disease/non-tropical sprue (true gluten sensitivity) on a daily basis, in a lot of specimens. Celiac disease does happen -and it is very significant to those afflicted- but actual celiac disease is an unusual finding. 

In my own personal life, I intentionally consume fairly large amounts of gluten rich food every morning, as the cereals I choose are loaded with fiber, and I am more concerned about avoiding hypercholesterolemia than gaining some nebulous, non-verifiable benefits from arbitrary cessation of gluten consumption. 

Also,  think about how tightly linked the cultivation of wheat and the rise of civilization were. 

This gluten-free thing has all the earmarks of a fad, and it should go away in due time, as it has no basis in reality.
 
Cheers,

Hi,
 
I've managed to get to 65 not worrying about the word!
 
Must be my luck and the CHB's bunny foot!

It's pronounced "gloot-in" not "glut-en." 

The gluten-free label is usually a big turn-off for me. I'm glad the rare people who actually need it have access to it, but as for the rest of them...
 
In fact, I sometimes feel like some kind of alien when we stop by Whole Foods. I am into fitness and healthy food, but a lot of people out there seem to have turned those things into some kind of religion.
