The number of gluten free products on the market is astounding these days. The number of people claiming to have issues with gluten is equally amazing. For those of you eating gluten free or considering it, I attach this link for you to consider.

While there are still people with wheat allergies and some with other sensitivities, something like this does make one think. We have blamed gluten for far too much. We jumped on the gluten free bandwagon not because we have issues with it but because we fell for the hype. Those who have gone gluten free are probably eating healthier in general and seeing benefits but it might not be the lack of gluten that is providing them.
