Abraham had a common question the other day, here it is:I recently came across this post on the website skeptoid.com. This guy named Brian Dunning says that gluten-free diets aren’t the gato’s meow (on this podcast: http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4239 ). He says that there is no sound evidence for avoiding gluten for general wellness, your thoughts?I’m drawing a line in the sand with this post.
I cannot devote a response to everyone of of these, I’ll never get anything productive done and, well it’s just boring at some point. So, I’m going to lay out some paramaters for how/if I’ll comment on stuff like this. I will not comment unless the individual is talking about molecular biology mechanism of action in grain intolerance

Now that celiac disease has been allowed official entry into the pantheon of established medical conditions, and gluten intolerance is no longer entirely a fringe medical concept, the time has come to draw attention to the powerful little chemical in wheat known as 'wheat germ agglutinin' (WGA) which is largely responsible for many of wheat's pervasive, and difficult to diagnose, ill effects. Not only does WGA throw a monkey wrench into our assumptions about the primary causes of wheat intolerance, but due to the fact that WGA is found in highest concentrations in "whole wheat," including its supposedly superior sprouted form, it also pulls the rug out from under one of the health food industry's favorite poster children.
