5,000 years of eating bread and we got provably shorter, with worse bones, teeth and overall health.
So the same researcher who "discovered" gluten sensitivity for non-celiac patients has debunked his own work with nothing less than a rigorous application of science. His conclusion: perceived sensitivity to gluten is triggered by other factors including psychological cause. Approximately 1% of adults have a gluten allergy, known as celiac disease. So what's this say about the 18% of people who currently eat a gluten-free diet? Here's the article:

Until the Industrial revolution the average lifespan was mid 30's. You only made it past 50 if you were a well taken care of leader or from the ruling class.
Gluten is not bad for you unless you are in the 1% who have celiac disease. Same goes for most other foods, if you are not allergic against them, they are mostly good for you in moderation.

That's very bad advise in an unqualified statement like this. What you mean to say is natural gluten is not harmful. But most wheat is GMO, not natural. It is the GMO wheat that causes the sensitivity, and can cause a reaction even to healthy gluten.

I beg to differ - while most people don't have Celiac disease, they do have allergies, autoimmune issues, and low-level chronic inflammation. Most of these are caused by foreign proteins and pathogens leaking from the gut into the body and bloodstream. Gluten causes leaky guts. Eliminate gluten -> eliminate leaky gut -> eliminate many of the previously mentioned conditions.
I now believe it’s the Roundup in our food that gives us leaky gut, which allows proteins like gluten to enter our bloodstreams and cause us allergic reactions. It also correlates strongly with autism.
for the rest though it's even beneficial as it acts as a prebiotic.
I assume I’m the one sharing the bad advice. I’m healthy weight, 47, and on no prescriptions. I see a doctor lately for an at work injury.

There is no GMO wheat that is commercially available.
So why the fuck is Monsanto suing farmers? I guess they patented God's wheat? This is the most mis-informed health statement I've ever read on patnet.
I will buy a blood pressure monitor and see if I actually need the lisinopril; a few or my blood pressure readings were only 104 systolic, kinda low.
Maybe drinking 4 cups of coffee before my appointment affected my blood pressure?
but there's also a genetic component of course.
I'll be off 3. meloxicam when I get my hip fixed and no more arthritis.
It seems you are confusing wheat with corn. There is no commercially available GMO wheat. Monsanto was suing farmers over corn. That was about a decade ago. Monsanto was bought out by Bayer (the German company) back in 2018. Hence, there are no current boogieman stories about the evil Monsanto.
My oldest had high fevers and rashes until we switched the laundry detergent. Then she never had them again. Blaming genetics is convenient because then it's not our responsibility or fault. But with a little more knowledge I think we'd all learn it's a myth.

I'm allergic to Nothing. I always used the cheapest Laundry Detergent. Gain, Store Brand, whatever.
Chick washed my clothes with Tide once and it was like Chicken Pox Strikes Back.
"When was your last blood test?" "1994" The nurse was laughing "good for you".
The point the picture demonstrates, that I believe is further echo'd by what you're saying, is GMO's are bad for you. Not wheat, not grains, but GMO's.
There was one biggie though for a while. Heartburn. I'm convinced Tums and the pills cause MORE heartburn. Stopped any of that crap about 5-6 years ago. Occasionally have what is minor heartburn, but I can drink and eat whatever I want now since I just stopped popping stuff to "relieve" it. Part of that is I completely cut fast food out of any part of my diet. You need sodium at some level, but fast food is notorious for it.
I wouldn't blame it on the GMOs, I'd blame it on the highly processed wheat products most people eat...If people ate bread made with just natural ingredients, it would be a different story...but finding bread made naturally isn't easy...You have to make it yourself to be sure. It's even better to use a sourdough starter instead of YEAST. All that store bought sourdough is fake in my opinion.
