Beware: 'Gluten-Free' Foods are Often Contaminated

interesting article about testing and labelling....
i like this bit the best
Now I am no fan of soy for a number of good reasons. One of the primary ones being is that nearly 95 percent of it is GMO and laden with the toxic Roundup pesticide. But even if it were organic soy flour, there are many reasons to avoid non-fermented soy.

THere seems to be a more increased focus on the integrity of GF foods.....

I like this statement from that article:
Celiac disease is just one of several autoimmune disorders that can be significantly improved by avoiding grains. And if you want to avoid heart disease, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes or even cancer, you'd also want to severely limit your grain consumption, or avoid grains entirely.

Why?

Because grains and sugars are inherently pro-inflammatory and will worsen any condition that has chronic inflammation at its root – and not just inflammation in your gut, but anywhere in your body.
The red emphasis is mine, of course.

This is also one more reason why I believe that we should not be so eager to jump on the "treat it with a pill instead of diet" bandwagon.

Thanks for the article,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
