Flashback Friday: Is Gluten Sensitivity Real? & GF Diets - Separating the Wheat from the Chat
For more than 30 years, the medical profession has debated the existence of an intolerance to the wheat protein, gluten, unrelated to allergy or celiac disease. How common is gluten sensitivity? Are there benefits of gluten? Why does the medical profession explicitly advise against people who suspect they might be gluten intolerant from just going on a gluten-free diet?

More than 10,000 articles have been published on gluten in medical journals—intimidating even for me! Combined with the multi-billion dollar financial interests on both sides, it makes for a difficult task. But I think I did it! This is 2 in 1 video, and the other video in this series is: How to Diagnose Gluten Intolerance ( where I go step by step how someone may want to proceed who suspects they might be sensitive to gluten-containing grains.
Why this apparent increase in food sensitivities in recent decades? It could be because of pollutant exposure (see Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors: and Allergies and Dietary Sources of Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors:

Whole Grains: The Best Kept Culinary Secret
Americans are increasingly enjoying grains like brown rice and farro when they dine out, but when it comes to home cooking, whole grains still have a bit of a PR problem. People assume that they are tricky or time-consuming to cook, and that whole grain flours are bitter and produce leaden baked goods. What they don't realize is that using whole grains instead of processed can make lots of recipes easier, quicker, and more foolproof, not to mention tastier. In this presentation, Andrea talks about testing she has done at Cook's Illustrated magazinethat counteracts common misconceptions, and the recipes she has developed that illustrate just how valuable whole grains can be to the home cook.
Get insider tips from America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated, to learn how to best utilize whole grains in recipes, and understand the culinary evidence (or lack thereof!) behind some common misconceptions.

Vegucated - (Full Movie Documentary)
Vegucated is a guerrilla-style documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks and learn what it's all about. They have no idea that so much more than steak is at stake and that the planet's fate may fall on their plates. Lured by tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture that make them wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before. But can their convictions carry them through when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets? Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who are trying their darnedest to change in a culture that seems dead set against it.
