It has addictive properties similar to nicotine. If everyone with seizures stopped taking gluten right now, health care costs in the US would drop by $35 million.
The human body was not made to digest gluten (or meat for that matter), and doing so causes the body to experience severe trauma and stress. Every time you eat toast, you are teaching your body to fear itself.
Gluten is pushed by everyone from big corporations to rightist presidential administrations. Do not fall for the scam. Look for the gluten free mark. It could save your life.

I avoid gluten, but gluten free diets are strictly for hysterical women.
It's not good, but it's not poison, either.
Josiah Cook
>health care costs in the US would drop by $35 million. you know thats fuck all right?
Levi Garcia
i'm a vegan who eats seitan weekly am i fucked?

>It's not good it's just protein from seeds. saying gluten isn't good because some people are allergic is like saying nobody should have lactose because some people can't digest it.
i know this is a troll thread but you also absorb more protein from meat than you do from plants, even if they both have the same amount. we're meant to eat meat but not in the quantities that some people do while avoiding unprocessed plant foods to go along with them.

I lived in Asia for a year with no bread, and when I returned I started getting a puffy throat from eating bread or crackers. Never had that reaction before that, which means that I had developed some kind of tolerance to it, then lost that tolerance.
I think gluten sensitivity is more common than people realise, and eating something that requires tolerance from the body doesn't sound optimal to me. At the same time, if you can develop a tolerance, it probably isn't total poison. So I just avoid it.
Isaiah Morris
Yeah I used to laugh at the gluten free fad but then I noticed after going for a few months without eating any wheat heavy stuff that I feel terrible after I eat a lot of wheat pasta or wheat bread, and I don't get that feeling after eating a lot of rice stuff
I still eat wheat stuff semi-regularly because I love the taste, but, much like meat, I harbor no illusions that it's somehow "good" or "natural" or whatever it is the armchair reddit scientists tell themselves to rationalize eating for pleasure with pseudoscientific claptrap
If you like the taste that should be enough, enjoy in moderation, that's all

I should mention that my ancestors mostly ate oats and later potatoes rather than bread or pasta. In effect, they ate an almost gluten free diet, with the exception of beer.
Nathaniel Perez
It's possible that you are just one of those people who are allergic to it though, which still means it's not bad for everyone else. I stopped eating gluten for a while when trying to figure out a skin issue and noticed no change when stopping or starting to eat it again.
Potatoes make my hands itchy if I cut up raw ones, and they irritate my mouth when cooked. That doesn't mean they're bad for everyone though, just bad for me.
Gluten is just wheat protein, some people react negatively to it, some don't and there's nothing wrong with the ones who don't eating it.
Justin Hughes
The noodles made from the same base ingredients as bread were TOTALLY OKAY though.
Michael Collins
>call other people armchair reddit scientists because you do the same thing but hold the opposite opinion
Connor Edwards
Thats because you don't know what youre talking about. Allergies are not a sign something is bad. The extent to which you can get over an allergily resolves the issue there.
Allergies by definition are to things that aren't inherently bad or dangerous. People are allergic to trees and cats. So this is the power of the true red.dit scientists who know better than the masses and fuckin lovvve science...
Josiah Parker
An allergy is a dysfunctional immune system response to foreign and harmless matter entering your body. Anti-survivalist in essence.
Tyler Hernandez
I browse reddit sometimes and for the most part they usually make fun of people who think gluten is poison or that having an immune system means you don't need a vaccine. They go overboard by taking sensationalized science headlines at face value sometimes but for the most part have an okay grasp on things like gluten.
Adrian Lee
jelly?
Jason Ortiz
If something causes an immune response, that means it causes an inflammatory response.
Maybe the body's just fucking up, but it's doing it automatically, and we have to deal with it as it is. Inflammation is basically the worst shit. It makes people age more quickly, think more slowly, and have worse health overall. If something causes inflammation, you need to avoid it like the plague.
Zachary Robinson
90% of dust is dead skin cells. Many people are allergic to dust. All people have skin.
Understand why it's a weakness?
Jackson Myers
Are you saying that I am morally obliged to eat things that I am allergic to, so that I can enjoy the benefits of inflammation and the good opinion of some jackoff on the internet?
Connor Diaz
Lol who cares Go fuck yourself op Im having a good mcdonalds now!

It's the only possible explanation. Nothing else could possibly explain that reaction at all. Fucking brainlet cattle
Christopher White
Since you say that there are many other possible explanations, would you like to post one of them?
Or do you just want to stay in your sarcastic fetal position?
Logan Gray
I'm saying that as a person with allergies you're not meant long for this world. The only option you have is swan diving off the nearest overpass into oncoming traffic.
Nathan James
You have no other explanations. This suggests that you were complaining out of a passive-aggressive desire to relieve your own frustration about some unrelated matter. You continue to complain about new subjects, irrespective of previous replies; I wonder if you would just keep complaining even if you were locked in a room alone with no-one to talk to. Might I recommend self-harm as an alternative to disrupting public discourse?
Charles Gutierrez
>n-no y-y-you kill y-yourself

Jose Morales
Speaking of curling up into a sarcastic fetal position and contemplating self-harm, how do you feel about the new president?
James Torres
And for the record, I was advising you to cut yourself to relieve stress, not kill yourself. I am a generous and humane man.
Hudson Moore
Explain your toast fear?
Tyler Sanchez
Not the OP, but bread irritates my throat. It's similar to the feeling you get before a cold.
As I said, my ancestors ate oats and later potatoes. We weren't eating bread on a regular basis until the 1950s, so there was no selection towards gluten-tolerance.
Despite this, not being able to enjoy eating a PB&J does not constitute an extinction event, as certain shy, introverted, and very angry Hilldawgs believe.
Jack Perez
Still sounds like you're saying since you have a gluten intolerance that nobody should have it.
Alexander Powell
I still don't get it. Why does eating toast teach my body to fear itself? Because of allergies?
Mason Gonzalez
I have never said that. I do think it's worth experimenting with if you're of Northern European ancestry. Italians are probably in the clear.
Gluten sensitivity (the amount of inflammatory response to gluten) is a matter of degree. Some are moderately sensitive, some extremely, possibly some not at all, but then again, wheat has only been eaten for a few thousand years.
Gluten intolerance is probably as common as lactose intolerance. Having said that, my ancestors were among those who first domesticated the cow, so I am very much in the clear as far as dairy goes. That doesn't mean I'm opposed to people experimenting with non-dairy diets.
Oliver Thompson
Buy organic sprouted grain breads. Half the problem is the amount of fucking Roundup (glyphosate) sprayed on all the grains. I do believe some have a gluten intolerance. I also believe it has to do with the amount of pesticides and herbicides sprayed on everything. Interestingly enough you don't see the problem happening in the EU as much since Roundup is not sprayed in the excess that it isn't happening in the US. There are many more gut issues here in the US related to food.
Lincoln Young
Oh, I think I understand now. You are pretending to be illiterate so that I will explain things to you.
When I explain things to you, I lose, somehow. Whoops! You got me!
Kevin Diaz
I eat bananas and then I get a strange irritation in my throat that feels like a a minor burning itch.
It's not an allergic reaction, it's just the way the compounds in the banana affect the lining in my mouth, like drinking soda kinda burns when you drink it.
Carson Ross
No I must be illiterate. Why would my body fear itself because of what I choose to eat?
Oliver Bailey
Because you chose poorly
Jeremiah Reyes
I've been eating homemade whole wheat unsalted bread with my oil-free walnut hummus and it seems to make my poops pretty good. I put 400 grams liquefied banana in my bread today because I got a bunch of discounted uglies yesterday and my freezer is getting full after a trip to Costo where I got three bags of different frozen berries: mixed berried, triple cherry, blueberries, and I already have a some frozen bananas and Brussels sprouts in there, with a few other things, including a large block of ice to make it cool faster.

Organic crops have more arsenic from the chicken poop they're fertilized with. Arsenic is deliberately added to chicken feed.
Dominic Mitchell

Jonathan Johnson
Sure factory farmed garbage chickenfeed, not organic chickens. You get a shitload more arsenic from rice grown in america anyway, numbnuts. Now that's a health hazard.
Colton Moore
>arsenic in chicken feed
"As of Dec. 31, 2015, the FDA withdrew approval for all applications of nitarsone (or Histostat), an arsenic-containing drug used in animal feed, that’s been linked to arsenic contamination in chicken meat. Nitarsone was the last remaining arsenic-based drug for use in animal feed on the U.S. market."
Dank forced meme which ironically enough outs you as an immigrant.
Andrew Hughes
Idiots. This article is reporting a publicly documented action by the FDA that eliminates arsenic in chickenfeed. If anything, environmental magazines would overplay the use of poisons, not underplay. Your retardation has reached heights only known at the very pinnacle of our government.
