By now we've all heard that consuming breads containing wheat gluten will spike your blood sugar twice as much as table sugar, contributing to insulin resistance and obesity. But did you know about another hidden danger in consuming wheat (as well as barley and rye)? It's called the Gliadin protein, which is a component of gluten.

Inflammatory foods (like gluten) can degrade the delicate lining of your small intestine, leading to permeability or “leaky gut”. When this happens, food particles are able to slip past the protective mucosal layer, between the cells lining the intestinal wall, and reach your bloodstream. In response, your immune system targets these proteins as foreign particles and begins to attack them.

Gliadin protein molecules are strikingly similar to the molecules that make up the thyroid gland. Once your body creates antibodies to Gliadin, the antibodies can mistakenly attack thyroid tissue. From that point on, you have an auto-immune response to gluten, such as Hashimotos disease. Hashimotos comprises 90% of the cases of low (hypothyroid) conditions.

Antibodies Spread Throughout Your Body

Antibodies triggered by gluten/gliadin intolerance travel throughout the whole body: the joints, skin, respiratory tract and brain can all be affected. In fact, for some people affected, no digestive symptoms are seen at all. With a wide variety of possible symptoms, gluten sensitivity may take a lot of effort to uncover.

Causes Immune Response w/Similar Proteins

Once the antibodies for gluten have been created, they can mistakenly attack other proteins too. Certain grains, such as corn, oats and rice, are naturally gluten-free yet their proteins are so similar to gluten that they occasionally still elicit an immune response.

No Middle Ground with Gluten/Gliadin Consumption

And don't think that merely cutting back on bread and other gluten containing foods will solve this problem -- your body can continue the Gluten/Gliadin antibody immune response up to 6 months after you have stopped consuming gluten.

Here are 3 reasons why gluten is good for you. (We have been eating Gluten for thousands of years. Bread is a staple of civilization) 1. 2. 3.

Instead of worrying about gluten. Work on these factors instead. 1. A diet comprised mostly of minimally processed, generally plant-predominant foods in time-honored, balanced combinations—where the preferred beverage for satisfying thirst in almost all situations is water. 2. Routine physical activity at moderate intensity, frequency, and duration. 3. The avoidance of toxins, particularly tobacco and excess alcohol. 4. Sleep adequate in both quantity and quality. 5. The effective mitigation of psychological stress. 6. The cultivation of meaningful, supportive relationships and strong social bonds.

thank you for having a rational take

The big issue here is not the sugar load, but the immune response. Wheat is completely genetically modified in the US -- and that's what causes the big immune reaction. It also is full of cancer causing glyphosate.

Dude, I know someone who was just diagnosed with Colon cancer who has a severe wheat allergy. Your argument doesn't hold water.

It also is full of cancer causing glyphosate.

This is theorized by many to be the increase in gluten intolerance in the west. Wheat is good. Genetically modified wheat sprayed with glyphosate is not really wheat anymore, is it?

exactly. its really an auto immune response to (((them))) fucking with our food.

GMO modified Franken-wheat is not good for most people. But good luck finding any that isn't contaminated in the US. And I agree with you about glyphosate being a huge factor in the immune response. People who consume wheat in countries that outlaw this stuff have a much lower reaction to wheat. Makes you wonder why the USDA/FDA refuses to outlaw it's use in the US.

Gluten is literally death to folks with celiac disease which is a form of inflammatory bowel disease like Crohns disease and Ulcerative Colitis. You know the cute tv ads about crohn's patients having to sit by a toilet? Know how they really live? Depending on severity, shitting pus and blood 20-30x/day, puking their guts out for no reason; bowel resections, colectomies and ostomies.

Limiting gluten may be a good idea for some folks that are sensitive to it.

Gluten breaks everybody.

The body isn't designed to cope with unbroken proteins reaching past the lower intestines.

Some ppl just have stronger reactions to this breakage

eat non gmo and organic if you care about health. purify your water too.

Gmo is fine.

It's eating plants for the majority of your diet that isnt

Well said!! Everything in moderation. I grew up never having a weight problem and never having dental problems. My Mom (God rest her soul) raised us on home cooked balanced foods.

This is Satan's murderous advice.

This cvnt is trying to kill you.

It's a fuking fact that the body goes into an emergency response every time plant shit gets into the blood stream and over time that emergency response gets less and less effective. Insulin resistance and diabetes.

Plant based diets have prematurely killed tens upon tens of millions of ppl. It's the largest killer of humans by far.

And this Satan spawn. No doubt a member of sos. Is advocating for plant based diet.

Fuk this demon.

Eat a meat based diet with plenty of meat fats

We are Omnivores.

We are meat eaters that supplimented our diets with small amounts of seasonal plants.

If that weren't true we would be capable of eating plants without limits other that sated
