5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GLUTEN

Dear Readers:

Came across this article today and since I have several friends that are either gluten intolerant or have celiac disease I wanted to share this information.

Here is an excerpt from the article by Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD:
"Unless you’ve been on a media-free diet, you probably saw Jimmy Kimmel Live’s hilarious “What is Gluten?” video, in which none of the gluten avoiders interviewed could explain exactly what gluten is. The truth is, most of my gluten-free clients don’t really know what it is either, but they do know that they feel better when they avoid it.

But there’s a problem: I noticed that some of the things people said in Kimmel’s video, like where they think gluten is found, were just plain incorrect. The video has more than 2 million views, so I thought it would be helpful to provide a primer. Here are five things you should know before starting a gluten-free diet, in order to reap the benefits and avoid the pitfalls."
