Re: Dieters warned on going gluten-free

[Guest guest]

I agree that products might be labeled " gluten free " - things that have

always been GF, but the issue is cross-contamination.

Yes, we'd " think " that soy and buckwheat and millet and beans are gluten

free, but because of cross contamination issues in the USA, you can't assume

that " soy flour " or " buckwheat flour " IS gluten free unless it's labeled as

gluten free.

Those not labeled GF may contain significant levels of gluten/wheat due to

cross contamination!

Yes, I belielve that gluten free is the new lactose intolerant. And yes,

some of

the gf products in the supermarkets are truly junk food. And yes, some of

the gf

labels are on foods that have always been gf, like the no cholesterol

labels on

some foods that never contained cholesterol.

But I can walk into some restaurants in New York City and order gluten

free

pasta. I follow a gluten free diet and have not lost weight. (I am not

overweight). No, we don't NEED gf cookies...but I do enjoy them, and I do

bake

gf cakes and cookies.
