it is definitely autoimmune. I have celiac and my immune system is wrecked. from October to March I have an almost perpetual cold. and it's a pretty bad cold, complete with coughing up mucus and coughing fits. not fun.
WHAT THE HECK IS GLUTEN? Okay seriously, with all the talk about Gluten-Free diets, what is it really? Get the scientific facts on whether gluten is actually bad for you, in our latest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DXjpb7SFi3s.html
***** If that's correct, then could you please explain why I spend about 3 days on the toilet after eating a pizza slice? Seriously if it was fake, I wouldn't be doing so much effort to avoid gluten. If it's not gluten then there must be something else in non-gluten-free food that fucks up my life.
numbreason The study suggests that it may be psychosomatic, that it, because your mind thinks gluten is bad, your body acts like it is bad. However, ths is just a suggestion, and they are still very unclear what is happening in non-celiac's who have gluten sensitivity.
I have a gluten sensitivity and it SUCKS. Everyone always thinks that I'm one of those people that just decides to go gluten free!!!!! IF I COULD HAVE GLUTEN, I DAMN WOULD! Grrrrr! It also doesn't help that I'm also allergic to eggs, dairy, and nuts. D: YOU GUYS GOTTA EAT THE GLUTEN FOR ME
Kimmy Awesomness well, if u wanna point fingers then point em at ur parents, who MAYBE didn't feed u cow milk nor chiken eggs when u were a baby (1yo+)
Hi S&I Productions. I wonder what people with Celiac disease with autoimmune disorder do 200 yrs ago in England? They must have died off as a result of not having gluten free bread???? No, they didn't because the ancient wheat grains did not affect people like Monsanto GMO seeds. You people are stupid to believe in the Monsanto propaganda about Celiac disease with autoimmune disorder. It's the Monsanto GMO seeds that's causing the problem, not the old gluten found in breads from ancient wheat grains. Stupid ignorant people!!!!
@Crepuscular Night. Why do you appear to care about the commenter? You appear to care is the reason why you responded to my harsh comment? But you don't really care enough to even do your own research about the information in my harsh comment. You just want to reply and defend the commenter to look like most lazy progressives who just want to appear to care, but they don't truly care and not enough to spend the time to even investigate for themselves to find the truth. If you truly cared about the commenter, you would of researched my info and come back to counter my argument and info. Stop pretending to care because it does no one any good.
@Crepuscular Night. My use of an adversarial tone in my comment was meant to be hyperbolic and to anger ignorant people and purposely done for effect in order for people to be motivated enough to research my statements/facts and reply to my comments. Most Americans are too lazy to doing any research and therefore, they are susceptible to the main stream propaganda. The medical information on gluten sensitivity or Celiac diseases are main stream propaganda which was partially developed by Monsanto in order to sell more Roundup (glyphosate based herbicide). They pass their information onto American Medical Doctors and Physicians to be used as propaganda. In countries that ban GMO & Monsanto related seeds and where Roundup (glyphosate based herbicide) are not used, there are no "genuine" indigenous cases of gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. The only cases of gluten sensitivity or Celiac diseases in those GMO/Monsanto banned countries are those people who immigrated from GMO/Monsanto seeds using countries. By the way, Hungary is one of the few countries that GMO products like Monsanto seeds & use of Roundup are banned in their constitution. There's an organic bakery named Pipacs Bakery located in Budapest where they make artisan bread from local organic wheat including eincorn, which is an ancient crop. Lots of people who have gluten intolerance or Celiac disease can eat their bread with lots of gluten, but they do not have any gluten side effects related to wheat bread grown from Monsanto GMO seeds and the use of Monsanto Roundup.
@@littlegayfairy All I asked was why are you being needlessly rude and making insults. I wasn't arguing about whether its true or not, but based on your first comment- I suggest you find more than circumstantial evidence to support your argument. You're anger and rudeness is just off-putting, I might've read your third reply otherwise. Bye.
This is the only advantage of this fad. I suppose we should thank the people eating gluten free that don't need to, their lack of research has led to better labeling and variety of gluten-free foods.
My mum has coeliacs as well and she's also found it really helpful that choosing to go gluten-free has become more popular, as it has driven down the price of gluten-free products and now loads of restaurants do gluten-free options! Five years ago, if we ever went out my mum just used to order salad most of the time as everything else has gluten in! :)
I have a friend with Celiacs, While I'm glad there are alot more options now at lower prices, it also sucks because people assume she is part of the Gluten-Free Fad Diet and therefore don't take her seriously when she says she cannot have gluten. People have even tried to slip it to her before! Is that common for you uncle or cousin?
Respectfully, i don't think so at all. It is important to consider that gluten containing grains can be eaten as berries, in salads, soup, risotto and other healthy forms, if you don't have celiac disease, or an allergy or sensitivity. It has not be necessarily a prepakaged product full of additives and sugars. Greetings 🙌🏼
THANK YOU!!! I'm so tired of all those clueless morons that cut out gluten, but have no idea what it actually is or haven't done any research on whether it is actually bad for you!
Adam Cramer The most Idiotic statement on youtube award goes to ^ If you know what the words "Genetic" and "modification" mean, you would know there ARE inherent risks involved with ingesting (or even growing) anything that is GM or GE. That is not to say they ARE bad for us, but it's quite another thing to say they ARE NOT. Modifying DNA outside of a lab and particularly at the rate we are doing it currently, whether you believe it or not, CAN NOT be undone. Genetic roulette is the game they (you?) are playing. The truth is the truth, whether we know it, don't know it, or even care to know it. It is as far as I know IMPOSSIBLE to modify the genes of nature at any scale, and not alter the genes of everything that comes into contact with it. Therefor: When we grow GMOs, we are likely altering the DNA of the soil and insects etc.. And when we eat GMO food, we are likely altering our DNA in some aspect. Should we err on the side of caution with GMO's or tell everyone their assholes for caring enough to attempt to keep nature natural? The first option does not reap large paychecks for the big biotech companies at our expense in many ways, while the latter only helps them get richer. So, Who are you pandering for, us (the people) or them? Personally, I always assume upfront someone whom would make such a statement either - A; works for one of the biotech companies (which makes you part of a special interest group, and your opinion null and void), or B; completely ignorant to the topic at hand (in which case, as the saying goes, it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it up and remove all doubt. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
If people only understood this. I see stuff like frozen carrots that say "GLUTEN FREE" and I just think, No Shit, it's carrots! P.S. another "No Shit" issue is a jug of milk that says,WARNING: CONTAINS MILK. DUH!!!
Loys Eugene Carter I like the Gluten Free labels. It helps me shop to find food for my wife. She has Celiac Disease. However, I have noticed a common trend, anything that is labeled Gluten Free and wasn't before, the price is raised.
Ezekiel Mejia There is nothing wrong with the labels on items that would NORMALLY contain gluten. My point is "Gluten Free" on something like a bottle of water is just plain stupid and panders to people who have no clue what gluten is.
Peanuts aren't nuts. I'm allergic to nuts but can have peanuts, because they aren't nuts. If you are allergic to peanuts, it doesn't mean you're allergic to nuts.
I really feel for those who have legitimate need of gluten-free choices, as they're sadly in the minority of people who seek it out. It must suck to have your medical condition co-opted by people with way more free time & money than self-awareness.
actually it's awesome because the more people who buy it the lower the price for everyone and then we (well.. my wife and I'm gluten free at home out of solidarity) just laugh at them behind their backs.
As someone who does have a gluten sensitivity due to the aftermath of a surgery, I'll say that without all he hype about "gluten free," there would be far less choices in products than there are now. So it is good in a roundabout sort of way.
Joël Van Rijn Gluten is bad if you have an intolerance or allergy to it. If you don't have an intolerance or allergy to it, it's fine. But don't downplay the pain of the people who really can't have gluten.
I hoped common sense would help to know I meant it for people who can eat it, but it's the internet so my expectations are apparently too high for that.
i have been gluten free for about a year now and i feel amazing. i am A.D.D and after getting rid of gluten in my life i have been able to focus and do better in school
My wife has a Gluten allergy and i met a huge community who has this allergy as well. I feel bad for her, it's very difficult to find food for her, but luckily there's a market for gluten-free products.
I don't think I have gluten intolerance, but I always feel lazy and sluggish after eating gluten, and so does everyone I know aswell. For example if I see a person eat a lot of bread or pasta, they often get mood swings, bloating, lazyness and headaches later. You may not feel it if you don't have any contrast since you've eating it for majority of your life, but I'd recommend everyone to have an open mind and experiment a week without it. Eat amaranth, non-contaminated oats, kvinoa or buckwheat. Those gluten free grains are also healthier than wheat nutritionally. I don't think gluten is bad for everyone but I think western diets have too much of it. Wheat, barley and rye don't have any vital nutrients that you can't get from other HEALTHIER sources.
Scientists believe that 20-80%(different opinions) are gluten sensitive without any symptoms. Also most people feel the difference after eliminating it. Wheat has many complex and hard proteins for our body to digest, that's why it's creates problems in our bodies and is highly allergenic for many people. It's been manipulated multiple times so it's not even a natural plant anymore, more like man made. Anyway I'm not part of the gluten free diet fad hype. The wheat belly book and other people claiming it's the reason for every disease is bullshit in my opinion. And definitely not placebo, I'm seeing dramatic increase in energy, mood and no headaches or bloating. Again, have an open mind, don't believe me if you don't want to, just research and experiment for yourself.
that's more likely the bread and pasta and not the gluten. I eat gluten free at home because of my wife's allergy but I feel hella gross after i eat a big bowl of GF pasta just the same as with normal pasta but i feel nice after a bowl or brown rice and grilled veggies. Basicly you can't get healthier just by buying more expensive versions of the same foods, you actually have to change the things that you eat , more veg and lean meat less dairy and bread stuff.
TARDIScrash I didn't recommend buying gluten free versions, I recommended some healthy alternatives but less known natural ancient grains like amaranth, which has 3 times more fibre and 5 times more iron than wheat, and 2 times more calcium than milk! I think everyone knows that gluten free breads from the stores are unhealthy.. By the way if there's one thing that creates a host of disease, including cancer, heart disease etc. it's DAIRY. It's not safe for human consumption in any way or form. Watch forks over knives, so you get to the right path of healthy diet, then research.
I have Celiac and I was diagnosed at about two. Before that I really struggled with keeping/gaining weight. So I was diagnosed with Celiac. For probably about five to six years after that, my diet consisted of fruit, vegetables, and meat. That's basically all I ate as nothing was gluten free. My family (we're all intolerant) is extremely grateful for the amount of food we can now get from chain stores, though it is pretty expensive. Anyway, thanks to AsapScience for showing people that gluten free diets aren't just fads or diets people take on for attention. I've met many people who say they're gluten free but then go on to blatantly eat bread right in front of me. For example, this one girl spent so long trying to get a special gluten free lunch to literally moments later take a bread stick. So.... Anyway, if you read all of this, thanks and have a great week. :)
Nobody needs grains, even whole grains. Those vitamins and minerals people use as an excuse to eat grains can be found in exponentially greater quantity in vegetables,fruits,meat,nuts, and healthy fats. Specifically leafy green vegetables, or vegetables in general. Since I went on a paleo diet, I've felt amazing, my athletic performance in cross country and track is at it's peek. Grains have minimal nutrition coming with the cost of unneeded carb loads. Do your research people. If you feel like donuts and whole wheat bread make you happy, then keep eating them. But if you think grains make you healthy, you might want to rethink what you know about nutrition.
Yeah but what about roughage? Not everyone has time to go out and run 10 miles every day? That used to take me about 1 hour twenty minutes or so every day and these days I just don't have the time. I hope you eat something cuz it you have ever seen the out put of of Jevitz person its kind a icky. PS what is wrong with carb loading the night before a race. I used to eat big bowl of spaghetti the night before the race and had some phenomenal performances... at my peak. anyways now I am older and DUDE WTF is wrong with you? To have a fresh donut and eat it ... Well yeah it really does make you happy. And that is what got me on this rant in the first place. I like to eat. It can be pleasurable says the hedonist. But like everything.... Moderation is the key. please notice I didn't say eat the whole box.... Ps Good luck on your CC. I hope you do your best and win. JT to MK
Are you a registered dietitian? If not, you might want to get credentialed before you start giving out nutrition advice. Same way I wouldn't take advice about my teeth from someone who isn't a licensed dentist, or wouldn't take tax advice from someone who wasn't a CPA. People have to go to the expert for any topic-- and random commenters from RU-vid are not experts in nutrition -- RDs are.
mle011 you know what dietitians do? They cheat there patients by telling them to go buy some pill that they say will be the cure to all there problems. But all these antibiotics and medications dietitians prescribe to people only treat peoples symptoms, not the base cause of their illness. If someone is trying to lose weight and they go to a dietitian, all the dietitian will tell them is to eat based on the government food pyramid. 300 grams of carbs a day, 50g of protein?! That will just put the already overweight person on the road to sickness and obesity. And then to add insult to injury, they tell the patients to get all these carbs from "whole grains". Which will only wreck havoc on that persons digestive system and whole body from the pounding it gets from their insulin being topped off all day everyday from all those carbs. These dietitians aren't here to help people, they're here to make money. They don't help cure or prevent your illness, they only temporarily get rid of the symptoms so that you keep coming back to spend your money on more meds and appointments. You don't need to be a dietitian to be knowledgeable in nutrition, you just have to do your research from credible sources not funded by the government and trying to take your money.
Jim Thomas i'm not saying anything is wrong with carb-loading AND I didn't say everybody has to go run cross country. If you're gonna carb load, do it right. With whole plant based carbs like sweet potatoes, fruit, some natural sweeteners such as raw honey or maple syrup. Not shove bowls of spaghetti and bread down your throat. And the thing about the donuts. I am not encouraging the consumption of donuts, i am saying that you decide to ignore your health for gluttony and pleasure, then you're gonna eventually end up on the wrong said of the obesity statistic in whatever country you live in. Also, of course treat yourself here and there, nobody's diet is perfect, but i'm just giving advice to make the right choice most of the time. Even i'm not perfect, I had ice cream a couple days ago.
Moumen Khalifa You're hilarious. I'm not sure if you have done your research on what a dietitian actually is. Dietitians do not "prescribe" pills-- Doctors prescribe medicine/drugs. Dentist prescribe medicine/drugs. RDs do not prescribe these antibiotics and pills -- not in the USA -- it is outside of their scope of practice, so do your research on what an RD does and what their scope of practice is. Just because I've flown IN a plane before doesn't mean I am qualified or knowledgeable enough to BE an airline pilot, just like someone (aka; you) who has eaten food before, and done a few dot-com google searches on "healthy foods" doesn't mean that they are qualified or knowledgeable enough to be an RD. RDs are not out to "get money" and the GOVERNMENT of all sources is not trying to tell people false nutrition/health information --- no government is trying to do that. Countries actually benefit GREATLY when its people are in optimal health. The whole goal of the government (as far as health/nutrition goes) is to get its people as healthy as possible so they can be a productive citizen and not a drain on disability, healthcare, and the workforce. Any government wants their citizens to be as healthy as possible, so they are obviously not out to make us all sick on purpose so they can "take our money" or whatever. I'm sorry you seem bitter about the whole situation. It's obvious you are passionate about food - if you are so passionate about food I'd recommend that you actually get a 4 year degree, complete 1200 hours of an unpaid dietetic internship, get a 2 years master's degree in nutrition science, and then take the national registration examination for nutrition. You'd probably like all the studying and then you could be an RD and change the bad rep that you think RDs have.
i have no trouble making great meals with GF stuff but i have always been a fairly good cook. If you are buying pre made stuff that might be bad but all that stuff is gross, GF or not.
As someone with major gluten intolerance, but not celiac, I appreciate this video. I never understood why people went off it on choice though... But I guess I'm grateful it Became a trend since now I can actually have food options
I've been a celiac my whole life. I get all my proteins. And yes I gain weight. But if I digest gluten it will vomit for 3 days and become pale and depressed. I will also be anemic for 3 years. The last time I digested wheat was when I was 6.
Actually, gluten is not made up of essential amino acids. Therefore, a certain enzyme (special molecule) converts the non-essential amino acid (contained in gluten), to an essential amino acid, so then it can be used for protein. People with Celiac Disease do not have the certain enzyme to convert gluten into an essential amino acid.
People need to learn the difference between gluten sensitivity and celiac desease , i have celiac disease and its terrible because at my school they sold me something i specifically asked not to have gluten in but no i am sitting at school throughing up into a bucket because people don't know
This forgets to mention that you can become intolerant if you remove gluten from your diet. Lots of people are oblivious to this disease and are doing more harm than good.
I love the fact that this channel offers information in a truly scientific way. More specifically, the descriptions on its videos mostly offer multiple viewpoints. When one takes wisdom from only a single source the wisdom becomes a fallacy. inevitably this advice must also include the channel in which I am currently praising.
Hey AsapSCIENCE, can you post some of your sources. I have a friend that genuinely believes that gluten is absolutely unhealthy and best to avoid. I want to be able to prove to her why she is incorrect.
some people are eating foods with high amount of trans fat and artificial sugars and full of chemicals and ridiculously high amounts of sodium but they don't eat gluten because they wanna be healthier.
Okay, Gluten sensetivities definitley exsist. Both my parents are gluten-intolerant. Before "gluten-free" was a fad, my dad kept having horrible stomachaches after eating certain things so he experimented cutting different things out until he figured out cutting wheat out stopped his aching. Going gluten-free helped him lose a lot of weight, and increased his energy. So no, he's not celiac, he actually has a sensitivity. As for my mom, she had really bad arthritis in her knees and shoulders. It would take her 5 minutes to walk down our stairs. She went to the doctors and they diagnosed her with Lupus, an inflammation disease. After she cut out gluten, she went and got a second blood test and the doctors said if these were her first blood tests, they would have never diagnosed her with it. So there you have it, it's not a placebo, it's not non-exsistant, for some people, gluten really does cause a problem for their health. Please stop being so insensetive and skeptical when people like me have first hand experience with it. (side note: I went gluten free for 2 and a half years, I didn't notice a difference so I eat normally now)
ËDÉÑ gluten sensitivity does not exist duck head, if his stomach hurt so bad, get a blood test, he has celiac if everytime he eats it he gets a bad stomach ache, then he has celiac, and as for ur mom, that didn’t happen, u seem to be one of those people who think cutting out gluten solves everything, but again gluten sensitivity DOES NOT EXIST
It sucks when you do have celiac, almost anyone will shove their food in your face and be all: "Do u mind if I eat this??" Even more annoying is the people who have no intelligence in the matter: "Hey, check the ingredients on the apple, it could have gluten!" *Sigh* Joys... Also, where are you getting your food? We've always had equal, if not, less, fat than gluten based food.
This video actually missed a very important point. Gluten consumption increases intestine permeability, and widens the tight junctions wheter you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or even digest gluten well. This does not cause any digestion problem but makes you more likely to catch various diseases and to aborb other molecules into your blood, and can potentially trigger auto-immune diseases. Which is why everybody should at least limit their gluten consumption, to avoid excessive intestinal permeability. And this is actually the key problem with gluten. If your tight junctions stay tight, gluten or other proteins can't go into your blood, and you avoid potential immune reactions, and keep your immune system strong. The caseine of dairy products presents the same problem.
iamihop well I'm french, and the book has no translation so... It is called "Gluten, comment le blé moderne nous intoxique". It has more than 400 reference studies, I can't give you all of them. Just google search intestinal permeability, gluten as key words and you will find evidence.
Barjozz the mecanism is well-known today. Other foods actually cause intestinal permeability in slighter way such as tomatoes or Cayenne pepper. What's important is not to suppress totally those foods but simply moderate consumption to maintain a strong immune system. A lot of diseases can start with leaky guts.
iamihop I understand very well your point of view. I do not have the book with me at the moment, but I can send you the reference studies about tight junctions when I get it.
iamihop Oh well, I actually found some just by typing "gliadin intestine permeability" as keywords. Gliadin actually has an effect on the hormone called zonulin, which regulates tight junctions. scholar.google.fr/scholar_url?hl=fr&q=www.researchgate.net/publication/7144746_Gliadin_zonulin_and_gut_permeability_Effects_on_celiac_and_non-celiac_intestinal_mucosa_and_intestinal_cell_lines/file/79e41506495e140c7d.pdf&sa=X&scisig=AAGBfm3g9-ivJTNAxClMorxM9FGoRPkoTA&oi=scholarr&ei=58x1U9GhI-i70QWykICQAw&ved=0CC4QgAMoADAA www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2653457/
iamihop Evidence is actually the only barrier between bullshit and science. It is only natural, I'm glad if I helped you in any way! As for these studies, I just randomly linked them, I don't know how they have been done. I will link you the studies mentionned in my book when I get my hands on it if you wish to have them.
And did you know that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to be allergic to gluten? You can be allergic to wheat, barley and rye (the three things that contain gluten) at the same time, but it is not actually possible to be allergic to the protein gluten.
You guys should do an episode on allergies. Why and how we get them? Why your children get them but not the parents? Ways to cure them? Different types? I think it would be an enjoyable episode.
Lots of stuff wrong with this explanation. If you really want to know why gluten is unhealthy look up zonulin response and intestinal permeability. Sad that misinformation gets so many views
Looking at this video's comments section actually makes me sympathize with those who disable their video's comments sections. All the crazies and their bloated, egotistical "zomgurwrongandherzwhy" rants and buzzword-esque catchphrases have flooded this video's comments section, drowning out the more reasonable comments that range from honest-to-goodness celiac disease suffers venting about their condition (And the non-sufferers who sympathize with them) to those who have found the video genuinely useful and informative. And before you spaz out, I firmly believe that it takes crazy to know crazy.
The video is about gluten, not your condition and shouldn't you celiacs be the most educated on your diet, it is all about what you eat after all. You come on here "ranting" about how others express themselves with "catchphrases" and you completely throw the reader off with words like "zomgur-yada yada", I still don't know what that means or care. No one cares about your gluten allergies, I've got Asthma but I'm not "ranting" on a You Tube comment section to strangers about it because I'm not some "crazy". You are also incorrect about "crazy", not knowing they're crazy is what makes them crazy, you may want to self reflect on that point, delusion is a huge part of not being part of the status quo...ijs
We know that autoimmune related diseases and allergies (Asthma, Psoriasis, Eczema, Food allergies etc) are on the rise, but we don't know why. For some reason, our immune systems have become ultra sensitive. If you have an autoimmune issue, gluten and sugars can trigger a flare-up.
OMG Thanks! I've been wondering what's all the fuzz about gluten free and no one seemed to know an answer other than "Gluten is bad for you"... Thank you!
I'm a celiac, and honestly I'm rather glad because the amount of opportunities I've been offered to eat unhealthy glutenous foods (such as cake at social events or coffee shops) is countless, and I'm pretty sure if I did include gluten in my diet I would be a lot heavier and unhealthier than I am now. There are a lot more options available for celiacs such as myself as time as progressed which I am grateful for, but as a celiac that lives around non-celiacs, my diet is a lot more healthier. I can't just pop down to the bakery and buy whatever I feel like, and more often that not cafes, coffee shops, restaurants etc don't have the gluten free option, and it they DO, its usually just simply an omelette or jacket potato which is healthier than most of the other options. Also when diagnosed as celiac, iron deficiency usually comes as very likely, which mean I must take iron supplements and include a lot more iron in my diet (as found in broccoli, raisins, red meat, spinach etc) which is a lot healthier. TL;DR I disagree that on average being a celiac is unhealthier than not.
Gluten makes me feel tired for some reason. If I eat food that is high on gluten, like pizza or a sandwich, then I feel extremely tired, weak and lethargic afterwards. I struggled with this kind of tiredness all through high school, without realizing that I was primarily effected after meals. My aunt suggested I try gluten free and it actually helped a great deal, I have more energy. Sometimes I cheat and I'll have some pizza and then I usually regret it because I will feel like I've been tranquilized, very tired and lethargic.
It's possible that you have Celiac. I had undiagnosed Celiac for the past 4-6 years (we don't know exactly), and I never got any gastrointestinal symptoms (Diarrhea, Bloating, etc.), but I was always tired. Before that, I was in shape, and had great stamina, but then it started and I could barely go on 10 minute walks through the woods near my house without being completely burnt out! So, just saying, it's definitely possible.
Thank you for this video! I don't eat gluten, but that's because I'm allergic to it! If you're not having any allergy symptoms, you shouldn't worry. Really.
***** Aww :(. My mom took me to like several doctors and they said, "Come back next week" or "Hmm" until one doctor came along and she knew right when she saw me that it was Celiac. She is still my pediatrician today! Yeah I didn't have to say goodbye to any foods because I was too young to even know what I was eating and everything so I just grew up with gluten free foods. It's my normal! Before my diagnoses, it actually messed up my growth and I was really small and skinny. Now, I'm taller than my mom and older sister!
In 1961 the Chorleywood bread process was developed, which used the intense mechanical working of dough to dramatically reduce the fermentation period WHICH MEANS MORE GLUTEN and the time taken to produce a loaf. The process, whose high-energy mixing allows for the use of lower protein grain, is now widely used around the world in large factories. As a result, bread can be produced very quickly and at low costs to the manufacturer and the consumer.
Coming from someone who has UC, one of my doctors recommended me stay off gluten products. It has helped a bit such as less bloating, but I still feel like it's not a big game changer to control my disease.
Does anyone find it interesting that we have been eating these grains for thousands of years, and we haven't had that many problems with it - until GMO's started to become widespread? Hmmm...The timing of GMO's and the increase of more digestive issues...Hey, why not! Monsanto needs to eat, too...Right?!
Just like Rose Grace said, the increase is more likely linked with better testing and more knowledge of the disease. I have at least 5 family members with celiac disease. My mother was the first to be diagnosed. No one in the generations before her had ever received a diagnosis, but it's not because it wasn't there. I know that she had an aunt who was constantly sick, with symptoms similar to celiac disease, but she never knew what she had.
***** It's genetically modified wheat. AKA Not natural AKA not fit for human consumption. AKA created in a lab to yield more wheat from less space to meet supply. Its not good for you, its not natural hence why you should stay away from it.
***** Well, I don't know about his, but the one I'm typing out on right now is the one I grew 12 weeks ago. You just pick it off of the tree, and if it gets too heavy, it'll break off and crash. It works great, and I grew it from a circuit board. I wanted the smartphone version, but my mom said to get the computer one. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
The stereo type behind gluten is bad stemmed from the fact gluten is usually associated to fatty sugary and processed foods that are being blamed for obesity, heart disease, cancer and other illnesses. For example gluten is found in white bread, pasta, sugary cereal, muffins, bagels, cookies, cakes, gravies, croutons, batter-fried foods, noodles, ice cream cones, pancake mixes, pies, doughnuts, spaghetti, waffles and pastries, When people go gluten free they've making a misguided attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for making this video. :)
Thanks for this! My sister-in-law has celiac disease and my 6 1/2 year old twins are always curious about it. We have explained what that means but this answered some of their questions AND sparked new ones. Now my twins are hooked on these videos. I'm ok with that.
1. Gluten isn't a carbohydrate; it's a protein. (Well, a combination of two proteins. Watch the video.) 2. Yes, they did eat carbohydrates. If they "didn't eat any carbs at all," they wouldn't have survived long enough to reproduce. Human bodies need some carbohydrates, just like they need protein, fat, and various vitamins and minerals. Early humans were hunter-gatherers (who, contrary to what cartoons may show, mostly didn't live in caves). They got carbohydrates from gathered fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Even meat can have some carbohydrates, particularly organ meats. (And babies, both modern and Stone Age, get carbohydrates from their mothers' breast milk.)
rayamat01 Grain doesn't get its gluten from "processing," it comes with it naturally. And while it's true that consumption of grain only started relatively recently in our evolutionary history, it's not too recent for us to have adapted: the fact that humans produce far more starch-digesting amylase than our relatives suggests that grains have been an important part of our diets for a while. Look, we're hardly grain-eating machines, but I can't stand it when people malign modern behaviors because they weren't practiced by our ancestors some 100,000 years ago when we were still scavenging shellfish and munching on roots.
Neurotic Knight the oldest human bones found were about 200,000 years old and and bread didn't become an every day food until about 10,000 years ago even though it was technically invented earlier. but then again I don't really give a fuck about what you do so go ahead and eat it
honestly as someone with celiac thank god for the people obsessed with being natural. they made it possible for a huge gluten free food industry to be created which means I went from almost never eating anything but meats and vegetables to being able to chose from multiple brands and flavors of cupcakes at the local supermarket.
Yeah i kinda think the trend of the guten free diet is kinda silly but its also a double edged sword for me as i do have celiac disease so i need the gluten free diet, so the trend has helped make life easier for myself which i appreciate i just hate trendy diets
Shiraz Harel insulin is a protein that allow your cells to process the sugars (glucose, fructose etc.) in food, allowing them basically to eat and get energy, diabetes don't allow you you to produce insulin so that your body processes carbohydrates, so the sugars just stand in your blood stream.
Why are some people allergic to dairy (lactose)? Can you explain exactly what "lactose" is and why some babies can have breast milk but not cows milk? Thank you!
Hahaa I'm not allergic to gluten, but I am allergic to wheat so I have to eat gluten free foods. Some are really good! Others not so much. On top of everything I'm also allergic to Corn, walnuts, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and caffeine. xD
WildWestHorseLover That't not really true. A good example of a gluten free ingredient that is gluten free, but contains wheat is glucose syrup (from wheat), its common in a lot of sweet foods.
I'm a celiac and I don't care if others go gluten free when they don't have celiac. If going gluten free makes you feel better or maintain a healthy weight, go for it! As long as you're healthy and your doctor has no problem with it, go gluten free if you want!
AsapSCIENCE; I highly recommend that you look into Fructose Malabsorption. It's a common allergy that probably influences a lot of the studies into gluten sensitivity, since fructans are often found in the same foods.
Slight correction: Scientists haven't found a sensitivity to gluten in non celiac sufferers. There is a sensitivity to wheat, bread, etc. and thus far most people have assumed the sensitivity was to gluten, but evidence is mounting that there is no such thing as non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Those others are most likely sensitive to the carb fructan which is commonly found alongside gluten, and they've been avoiding the wrong thing. www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/05/22/314287321/sensitive-to-gluten-a-carb-in-wheat-may-be-the-real-culprit
i stopped eating gluten for about 3 months before and i have to say my body has never felt better. i just felt more light and less bloated. i had more energy and my body just felt clean. but i love bread and pasta and pizza, so i'm back to eating gluten lol.
Well, that just might be because you're actually mildly gluten intolerant. Or that you just stopped eating unhealthy junk food, which often contains gluten.
Oh, and I suppose a video of evolution is one-sided too. Seriously, when the opposition is absolutely bogus, it's not prudent to give them equal footing. Science doesn't have to have two sides. It's not politics.
How so? If you have the allergy then its bad for you if not it's not. I mean eating a ton of bread and pasta isn't that healthy but that has nothing to do with the gluten
The poisons in wheat are not from in the plant, but rather what is applied to the plant just before harvest. Some farms spray plant killer on the crop to get all the plants to die and dry out at the same time. Wheat is not harvested until it’s in its “golden fields” form. By killing all the plants at the same time with roundup, farmers get a higher yield. This is because any green wheat is rejected because it’s useless for most food products. The chemical that is on the wheat and in our food is called glyphosate. It harms the natural balance in your gut and in your body. This is probably why so many people are “gluten sensitive,” but not celiac. They should ban the practice just like Many countries in Europe. Why take such chances?
My sister was a pretty tubby baby, at birth 8lb, 4 ounces, but because of Celiac which was hard to diagnos back then, she lost most of her weight and even today struggles to put on weight. One of our cousins put herself on a gluten free diet because she thought she to would loose weight.
Ray Sander Because this is the internet and I can do/say whatever the fuck I want, if that answers your question. And if this dude is gonna talk about all this stuff and possibly change peoples view on something, have them tell other people, etc. He should at least source his shit so he isn't spreading false information.
I have been gluten free for a couple of weeks. I didn''t decide to go gluten free for the sake of losing weight like many people. Apparently, according to some minor research I've done, there is a link between gluten allergies and eczema, a skin condition that I suffer from. Apparently, both according to things I've read online and people I've met in person, it helps and I am meant to see improvements in two months. I hope it works, as I've been dealing with crappy skin since I was very small.
This is a solid video and all, but I find it comical that you guys were pretty much implying that going gluten-free can actually be a bad thing.. If you have any respect for your body, then you're hitting your micronutrient requirements on a daily basis via fruits/vegetables. When I bake gluten-free things, sometimes I use quinoa and you don't taste the difference at all. It's better for you, and no extra fat/sugar necessary. There is absolutely nothing but health benefits for someone that goes gluten-free. Same things goes for red-meat, but I'm not one to judge. Finding a balance is more important than anything.
It's one thing to see a package of rice donuts that say "gluten free" because its made from rice, but what cracks me up, and I kid you not, is seeing 100% gluten free on things like bacon packages. And I don't mean vegan veggie bacon, no, I mean pork belly bacon. I actually saw that on a package of bacon recently, 100% choice pork belly, 100% gluten free! in big, bold green letters on a bacon package. Um…I hope so, since it's not imitation vegan bacon. And what the hell does that even mean? Did the pig itself have a completely gluten free diet?
Thats i been eating this substance my whole life, but the problem is is that gluten from modern wheat is what is harder to digest because of the larger genome resulting from hybridization. Spelt is easier to digest for instance more ancient grains are better for you than anything modern...
I love this video!!!! I have Celiac disease and a bunch of other health problems!! I cant wait to show this to my friends, because they dont really understand what Celiac is. So thank you very much!!!!! (:
if you have psoriasis and cut out gluten you will notice some improvement on your rashes.. im not sure if is the actual gluten proteins or all the chemicals and fertilizers that go into wheat but cut it out did help a lot my situation
