They do provide a link to another, larger study that apparently confirmed the findings of this study.

Placebo or not, I can assure you as a society Americans consume waaaaaay too much wheat, hence gluten. I've made a conscious decision to back off and have noticed a difference. More energy, and one notch tighter on the waist belt. I didn't eliminate wheat (bread stuff), just reduced it by at least half, if not more.
ain't no turn like tele!

Originally posted by climbhoser View PostThey didn't control for other elements, either, just GI distress. So, gluten may not be wholly nutritious and/or have long term effects and may still not give GI distress.
"Subjects would be provided with every single meal for the duration of the trial. Any and all potential dietary triggers for gastrointestinal symptoms would be removed, including lactose (from milk products), certain preservatives like benzoates, propionate, sulfites, and nitrites, and fermentable, poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates, also known as FODMAPs."

I studied in a multiple discipline environmental ethics program at university. Many of the faculty were salaried with grant money from Monsanto, Dow, DuPont, and Syngenta in fields like Crop and Soil Science. Many of them worked on the first "RoundUp Ready" seed stock to enter the U.S. market. Our EE program was the place they discussed possible disadvantages to these products. Many of them cited the neurotoxicity of these products with the emerging research of the lumbar plexus and the health of the GI tract. I am afraid that their predictions are coming true. GMOs are now being linked to Celiac Disease, Gluten sensitivity, and other forms of GI distress.
The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) released a report today proposing a link between genetically modified (GM) foods and gluten-related disorders. In today’s report, a team of experts suggests that GM foods may be an important environmental trigger for gluten sensitivity, which is estimated to affect as many as 18 million Americans.
What's the over/under on when this will be moved to the WOT?
