I am afraid that I missed much of the most recent ‘gluten-free diets are the work of the devil’ furore last week as I was focusing on Glasgow and the Allergy show – of which more anon. But, as always, Alex has stepped in and brought his forensic spotlight to bear on what is being claimed….
So for a sensible take on an as yet unpublished work based on studies from 30 years ago which used self reported data, see Allergy Insight – Diabetes and gluten.
Proves – yet again – that limited knowledge, carelessly reported, can have dangerous consequences.
Yes indded.. as the saying goes.. ‘A little knowledge is a dangerous thing’.
Thank you. Very frustrating coverage – given it alarmed a lot of coeliacs, who, on the whole, are able to access advice from a dietitian on how to keep optimum wholegrain intake in the absence of wheat – which is likely to be the protective factor involved.
