The Gluten-Free "Frenzy"! Who Practices 'Just Because' Vs. a Legitimate Health Concern?


Chances are that you, a friend, or a friend-of-a-friend, has adopted a gluten-free diet; let's say 1 out of 3 people in the USA.  That number is actually a REALITY.  Studies have shown about 30 percent of adults want to cut down or be free of gluten in their diets; more Americans started to say they would like to cut back or avoid gluten.  Gluten free diets also benefit people who have food intolerance or allergic reactions to gluten or one/many of the many forms of grains.
Being Gluten-Free 'Just Because' Vs. Legitimate Health Concern
Some Retailer Facts:
Food manufacturers started taking the gluten out of everything, increasing the price, and promoting [products] as gluten-free.  For some people, there is nothing ‘bad’ about gluten.  What I mean is that they can eat it without feeling sick or knowing that it even had gluten in it; most people don't even know what gluten is.  Gluten doesn't make you gain weight, gluten doesn't clog your arteries, and gluten doesn't increase your blood pressure or cholesterol. While some note stomach pains, cramping, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, others would never feel these side effects.
Most all gluten comes from GMO sourcing and this shows us the contribution in regards to with the amount of toxins our body fights.

According to the Celiac Foundation, 1 in 133 people have C.D.
 (celiac disease). Anyone in this category should avoid gluten altogether. There are other people who do have gluten sensitivity and respond negatively to gluten even though they don't have celiac disease, according to the latest Celiac Foundation research. But before adopting a gluten-free diet, those who think they may have a gluten reaction should discuss this concern with their physician to solidify the potential of the need to be gluten-free for health concerns.

Foods that are naturally gluten-free are foods that people should definitely eat more of in their daily diet.  
Fruits and vegetables; this accountability in reality, by default, might help people eat fewer processed foods.  However, keep in mind that food manufacturers may remove gluten, but we will still end up with processed foods! (The foods just no longer have gluten)

If people who have adopted "gluten-free" diets are eating a generally healthy and balanced diet, the overall risk of developing any significant nutritional deficiency is low.  Also, increasing stress levels, deplete vitamin B levels which help digest carbs.
