I figured they would become sick eating the stuff we do, so never worried about them much.

Have noticed that “gluten intolerance’ sure seems to generate radial over-reactions, sort of like “conservative intolerance” suffered by liberals.

Oh sure they may be 1 in 10 million, but humans have been eating GLUTEN as primary food source for thousands of years. Amazing we didn’t die out in pre-history ..............

Have fun enjoying your fetish fad.

I didn't say that lactose intolerance didn't exist. It just seems more than passing odd that suddenly so MANY people have discovered that they have these hitherto rare food allergies. Just like so many children have discovered they have ADHD. And so many people are discovering that they're gay.

I believe there are legitimate cases of food allergies, but I don't believe they're as common as we're told.

Try sugar packets if you don’t like sweeteners like equal. I switched to sugar packets, they are premeasured, started with 4 in a cup and am down to 2 now. Gradual decrease and my coffee still tastes good. When you use a spoon it’s easy to use too much. You can also use 1 packet of sweeter along with the sugar, it adds no taste with only 1 packet.

Well thank you for straightening that out. For clarity yes there is, without any doubt, over diagnosis and other factors like hypochondria. Lawyers too.

I apologize for thinking you were agreeing with the numbskull above you. He just throws stuff out with no basis in reality like like 1 in 10 million. According to him, around 30 people in the USA are gluten intolerant.

Then when you point out such vapid ignorance he compares you to a liberal. People having their stomach linings destroyed is a "fetish fad" that they "enjoy."

Thanks for the tips! I’ve gone from two tsps down to slightly over one so I’m working my way down. The packet idea is a really good one!

It’s pricier but better for me for discipline.

You show one study claiming one thing and I’ll show another study to the contrary. That’s why the vast majority of “studies” are junk.

[CodeToad]

I never said I don’t believe in it. Read my comment a little more slowly next time. I have said the vast majority of people claiming it are full of poop, though.

[CodeToad]

“But wait the IT person “

Little more than an IT guy. Thanks for trying to portray that little nugget of propaganda. You’re not exactly known for anything but being antagonistic.

[CodeToad]

AAA simply has a reading comprehension problem, that, and he has this issue with being an angry 5th grader. He antagonizes by taking comments out of context and making claims people never said. He does this as an attention seeking behavior; a component of his borderline personality disorder.

No, 1 in 10 million are ACTAULLY diagnosed, the rest are over diagnosis and other factors like hypochondria, mainly hypochondria.

Happy you thank you have found an equal “rationalizer”. That make you feel good?

You may want to read Grain Brain explaining what too many carbs and sugar will do to you, and it isn’t pretty. I was suspicious long time ago and for many, many years avoided sugar and too many carbs like the plague and it has been paying of as I am heading towards eighty and still swim a mile a day, out swim most any one my age and even some life guards. Believe me it is a nice feeling......
