A great article on Wheat, Celiac, gluten intolerance and why so many are going LCHF

Discovery News, Why You Should Probably Stop Eating Wheat.

 

The effects of gluten and gliadin clearly vary from person to person. But as a recent study showed, nearly 1.8 million Americans have celiac disease, and another 1.4 million are likely undiagnosed. And surprisingly, another 1.6 million have adopted a gluten-free diet despite having no diagnosis.

In addition, it's estimated that about 18 million Americans have "non-celiac gluten sensitivity," which results in cramps and diarrhea.

I think this is William Davis' whole premise in his book Wheat Belly.

They do quote him.

Uncritically, without noting his lack of research for his central claim of wheat causing weight gain, and without reference to scientists who disagree about many of his assertions.

Thanks for the link. It has made a huge impact on our GI and autoimmune issues here. This will be a good link to pass on.

Did you see this, yesterday? I actually thought of you when I read it. :laugh:

 

SHANGHAI: Chinese researchers have identified a bacteria which may cause obesity, according to a new paper suggesting diets that alter the presence of microbes in humans could combat the condition.

 

Researchers in Shanghai found that mice bred to be resistant to obesity even when fed high-fat foods became excessively overweight when injected with a kind of human bacteria and subjected to a rich diet.

 

The bacterium - known as enterobacter - had been linked with obesity after being found in high quantities in the gut of a morbidly obese human volunteer, said the report, written by researchers at Shanghai's Jiaotong University.

 

The mice were injected with the bacterium for up to 10 weeks as part of the experiment.

 

The experiments show that the bacterium "may causatively contribute to the development of obesity" in humans, according to the paper published in the peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Microbial Ecology

No, but I've seen few suggestive studies with similar finding (off to look this one up). I think there are going to be a lot of exciting findings in the organism = ecosystem fields in the next few years.

 

Thanks!

Me too, and it really excites me.
