Also the wheat that was being consumed by our ancestors was natural, as in GMO-free. It grew naturally out of the ground. Now wheat is so mass produced that it is entirely genetically engineered to the point where it could not survive without major support by humans. It looks different, tastes different...it’s…

Because soap gets in your mouth when you shower, and stays on your skin. We don’t go that far in our house, but I have to buy GF lipstick and GF sunscreen (or have my daughter wash her hands after applying sunscreen.)
The napkin holder boggles me, but the soap is legit. My mother has celiacs and she had to toss a lot of her makeup because it contained gluten, and it was being applied to her skin
It can matter, actually. Some people with celiac or intolerances are sensitive enough that even if they touch something with gluten in it, they can have hives break out where their skin came into contact. My friend has celiac and can’t even handle or smell bread for that reason. It sucks really fucking hard.
A friend of mine has Celiac’s and she can’t use makeup that has gluten in it, so it’s not just about food!
The other issue is GF foods like the ones at the expo are often HIGHLY processed too.
This is true, we are way better at diagnosing today. But it’s also true that it’s more prevalent. There was a famous study done with blood samples from air force recruits from 50 years ago and from today. The samples taken recently were 4.5 times likelier to have the disease that the ones 50 years ago. (Mayo clinic…
Ok, so some of it is bullshit, but some people with gluten sensitivity do react to skin contact, so labeling makeup or lotion as “gluten free” is important, and believe it or not, there is gluten in some of those products.
I can see why someone who doesn’t worry constantly about food availability would find this stuff strange. And a lot of the GF buzz has gotten out of hand. But for those of us who do have Celiac or food allergies (Hi, I have both.) food is not a stress-free thing. The idea of a convention center full of things that are…
whats funny is that people who are gluten intolerant in the US tend to not have the same reactions to wheat products in europe. I dont think this has been a genetic thing in humans but rather the genetics in the strains of wheat we use as opposed to those in europe.
The reason the kids were rapt with joy is that it’s very alienating, lonely, and stressful to be a little kid who can’t eat what the other kids eat. This article is shitty, mean, and weirdly unnecessary.
I keep telling people Kasich hates women a and children/young people. (He screwed over Ohio’s education system and is dismantling reproductive rights by creating laws that make it impossible for care to be given: Making it illegal for hospitals to accept patients from clinics that provide abortions, then at a later…
What do you want to bet the girl’s parents are healthy money raisers/givers? I spent 12 years in Catholic school and I know how that shit works. The more money parents funneled to the school, the more perks the student got.
I agree with you on what the teacher should have done but who knows what happened? Either way a kid shouldn’t get in this much trouble for “staring" in school especially at age 12. It seems pretty innocent to me and everyone involved on the boys side seems pretty confused and thinks it's unfair and based on what's…
If he turns her down, does she have a #2 choice?
Oh that’s the “controversy”? That people weren’t paying sufficient attention to a baseball game? Right, because it all happens so fast, lol. I couldn’t figure out why this was a story, and I’m still kind of confused.
I used to fantasize about faking a pregnancy and taking mat leave.
Oh no. My co-workers and I talk about this all the time. Resign? Or drive into a utility pole? Corporate America is not good for the soul, dude.
In 2006, Shuping claims she found a sympathetic psychologist who agreed to pour drain cleaner into her eyes (the two first met for a few weeks to make sure Shuping was ready). A FEW WEEKS.
