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."
