"So basically (and ironically), gluten-free diets are associated with
increased mercury in the blood, arsenic, obesity, vitamin deficiencies,
and metabolic syndrome."
I have a real problem with how the gluten-free industry has gone far beyond what science supports in promoting its product.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

"Gluten-Free" Is A Potentially Harmful Marketing Term
"Given the disproportionate number of people who are eating this way
without reason, though, there is cause for alarm. Especially among the
many people who now mistakenly and blindly conflate 'gluten free' and 'healthy'."
Like GMO-free, Gluten-Free is really a marketing term.

The Clean Eating Delusion
"In practice 'clean eating' tends to be avoiding whatever food is the
latest boogeyman in the pseudoscientific diet-advice industry. Today
this often includes eating organic, avoiding GMOs, avoiding gluten, avoiding perceived 'chemicals,'
eating 'natural' which can mean many things but often means avoiding
processed foods and food additives, and sometimes eating raw foods."
