Deep dives
The Rise of Gluten Sensitivity
There is a growing recognition of gluten sensitivity that extends beyond traditional celiac disease. Changes in wheat genetics since the 1950s, particularly the hybridization that increased gluten content, have likely contributed to this phenomenon. Additionally, the use of pesticides like glyphosate in bread production has a detrimental impact on gut health and could be exacerbating gluten sensitivity symptoms. Many individuals report feeling fine after consuming gluten products abroad, suggesting that the quality and processing of gluten may play significant roles in how it affects health.
