So this is just a meme, right?

they are probably memeing, if you are not intolerant it is probably fine to eat

having said that you should avoid processed bread products as much as possible, stick to traditional sourdough

Anyone who eats gluten free that doesn't have Celiac's or an intolerance is memeing. If they just say it's for health reasons they're stupid.

A meme

But i would still reccomend sticking to sourdough bread.

A meme.

But sugar free is a meme, too. The word "meme" doesn't invalidate anything except possibly its user's intelligence.

Meme memed to create demand for products which are 1.5-3x more expensive than regualr alternatives.

I work in health food retail.

A lot of commercial goods with gluten tend to be higher calorie than gluten-free alternatives.

almost entirely a meme, real celiacs are rare as fuck, but going gluten free isn't necessarily a bad thing, unlike vegan cuck retards

Gluten-free diets are actually less healthy than gluten-containing diets because wheat fiber provides the vast majority of bifidogenic prebiotics in the Western diet, in the form of FOS fructans. Those fructans are very sparse in any of the gluten-free grains, and the only other major sources are Allium

only a diet rich in gluten will grant you the blessing of strong, ropey turds.

I think people are confused with limiting heavily processed grain with cutting out wheat entirely. You can eat wheat and be healthy. Just shouldn't be a large portion of your diet. White flour is basically sugar. So it's a meme with some truth to it.

>>7559187
Yes

Meme for most, though for Celiac's and intolerants gluten might as well be broken glass mixed with laxatives and E. coli. My girlfriend is intolerant and from what she describes even a piece of toast is enough to give her volcano diarrhea for hours.

The domestication of gluten bearing grains is literally what pulled humanity out of barbarism. Not eating gluten is a meme and celiacs shouldn't pass on their genes.

Yes. I helped my ex, who was in a doctorate program, do a paper on the health effects of a gluten-free diet. In studies, people who aren't gluten-intolerant tend to gain weight when put on a gluten-free diet for 30 days without significant changes in calories in/out or excercised regiment. They also tend to develop minor digestive issues more frequently, and report that a gluten free diet is more expensive to maintain than other diets. Gluten-free alternatives to gluten-rich foods tend to be either high in fat or carbs, or not taste good, and are almost always more expensive than their gluten-rich counterparts.

Don't fall for the meme.

The good thing is, the yuppies who think that a gluten-free diet is good for them are actually helping people who have gluten insensitivity, because now you can't find a grocery store that doesn't have properly-labeled gluten-free products.

>The good thing is more gluten-free products for the ones with actual celiac disease
Very good point there anon.

>>7559187
>gluten free is healthier for people.
These are what we call "idiots"

>White flour is basically sugar
Not really. The problem with sucrose is primarily the fructose. Starch is glucose, and the GI of refined flour products can be low (for example spaghetti cooked al dente). White flour is a hundred times better than sugar

Someone probably had a friend with a gluten allergy. Said friend cut out a shit ton of carbs from diet. Person lost weight. Friend of person thinks "woah that gluten free thing must be real good for you" the rest is history.

It is a good point but at the same time it's also bad for restaurant kitchens that have to shut down completely every time someone comes in with a gluten "allergy".

Can you stop making this thread?
