Wheat is one of the top three plant based foods in the world, and is the largest non-animal source of protein in the world diet. The cultivation of wheat, and the ability to store it in a granary led to the establishment of the first cities in the Fertile Crescent. Humans of all cultures have been eating wheat based products for at least 8000 years and it is the top traded food commodity in the world markets.

Less than 1% of the population is thought to have gluten intolerance by most studies.

From all this, you've determined that gluten is bad....because why exactly? Because it is 'processed'? We're not talking about high fructose corn syrup here, we're talking about crushing a seed and using the various products.

This anti-food information worries me as it seems to be spreading like anti-vaccination hysteria.
