I think fads catch on because people are often unhappy, and don't know how to find happiness. They turn to many things to try to find a sense of peace.

Also this.
Except I just ate a Thin Mint. Or five.
Maybe they were just unhappy and changing their food helped them find a sense of peace?Oldstone said:
As a result of gluten-free, grain-free, wheat-free dogfood, my dogs do not have canine epileptoid cramping seizures (CECS) anymore. And gone are the upset stomachs accompanied by small bile vomits like a treasure trail around my house.

In my case this makes perfect sense.mrincredible said:
I wonder how many people who feel better when they go gluten-free were actually overloading on simple carbohydrates and mucking up their blood sugar. One of the easiest ways to go off gluten is drop wheat products like bread and pasta and eat more vegetables and protein. I know there are high carbohydrate Gluten free products but they tend to be expensive and it's easier to just cut the carbs.

Long live the hysteria because it has led to so many more options being available for those of us who do need to be gluten free.

Since then, studies have repeatedly shown MSG is no more dangerous (and possibly less dangerous) than table salt. People have forgotten they ever thought it made them sick, and we're all eating it again.

Marylago I tried tinkyada brown rice spaghetti the other day and it was delicious! Very chewy. Have you tried that?

Only if you're a doctor. If you're just an opinionated civilian, throwing your "science, facts and evidence" around, you could end up doing much more harm than good...

For the other 99%, you might want to re-consider whether all the money and energy you're pouring into maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle is worth... all that money and energy.
Few people actually suffer from celiac disease or wheat allergy. But there's this other thing - "gluten sensitivity", which is a great big mish-mosh of symptoms for which there are no clinical tests, no standards of diagnosis, and yet which millions of people are convinced they are afflicted with, so convinced that they spend upwards of 10 billion dollars a year to feed their habit. And to the degree that there has been any research on gluten sensitivity, an increasing amount of evidence is pointing to factors other than gluten.
Here's a decent overview of all of the malarkey.

I tend to look at all of this stuff as connected. We recently had a thread on vaccinations. Does anyone really wonder why there is an anti-vaccination movement when so many people get pulled into pseudo-health fads like this?
