The Myth of Big, Bad Gluten Photo AS many as one in three Americans tries to avoid gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten-free menus, gluten-free labels and gluten-free guests at summer dinners have proliferated. Some of the anti-glutenists argue that we haven’t eaten wheat for long enough to adapt to it as a species. Most of these assertions, however, are contradicted by significant evidence, and distract us from our actual problem: an immune system that has become overly sensitive. Wheat was first domesticated in southeastern Anatolia perhaps 11,000 years ago. Is this enough time to adapt? Milk-producing animals were first domesticated about the same time as wheat in the Middle East. Here’s the lesson: Adaptation to a new food stuff can occur quickly — in a few millenniums in this case. “If eating wheat was so bad for us, it’s hard to imagine that populations that ate it would have tolerated it for 10,000 years,” Sarah A. For Dr. A few years ago, Dr. Dr. WHAT’S the difference?
Gut, Brain, and Autoimmune Disorders The Role of Food | Thyroid Pharmacist I had the experience of a lifetime attending “Gut, Brain and Autoimmune Disorders: The Role of Food“, a conference sponsored by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine in Los Angeles. I felt very lucky to be among the group of 150 or so attendees that consisted of health care professionals from a wide variety of disciplines, including nutritionists, medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists. I had a chance to meet many of the attendees, and most of them were drawn to functional medicine as a result of having personal or family health crises. They turned to functional medicine to find answers they couldn’t get from traditional medicine. During the two days of the conference, I heard amazing stories of people recovering from Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, ADHD, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, autism, movement disorders, chronic fatigue, and other conditions. The panel of amazing speakers included: Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr.

Healthy News and Information Some Tea Bags Contain Frighteningly High Levels of Fluoride! Is your favorite tea one of them? Most conventional tea brands such as Lipton, Allegro, Celestial Seasonings, Tazo, Teavana, Bigelow, Republic of Tea, Twinings, Yogi, Tea Forte, Mighty Leaf, Trader Joe’s, Tetley contain very high levels of toxic substances such as fluoride and pesticides. We’re not talking about calcium fluoride which is a natural element, but rather hydrofluorosilicic Acid, a toxic industrial waste by-product. Cheap Tea Contains Fluoride and Pesticides Most teas are not washed before being dried, thus non-organic teas contain pesticide residues. A new study published in the journal of, Food Research International, found that cheaper blends contain enough fluoride to put people under the risk of many illnesses such as bone tooth, kidney problems and even cancer. In fact, some brands of cheap tea contain nearly 7 parts per million (ppm) and the allowed level of fluoride is 4 ppm. So how did fluoride get into tea?
Food Sensitivities "One man's food is another man's poison" is a familiar and centuries old saying which simply states that different people can have very different reactions to exactly the same food. For example, few of us would think twice about munching on peanuts while cheering for our favorite baseball team, however, for individuals with a sensitivity or allergy to peanuts, a mere whiff of just the peanut powder could pose a life threatening situation. Fortunately, few of us will ever have to worry about such extreme reactions to foods, but it may come as a surprise that at least 30% of us will experience one or more episodes of some kind of food sensitivity during our lifetime. There is increasing evidence that food sensitivities are more common and have a wider and more varied impact on our health than previously realized. Food Allergies Involve the Immune System Food allergies are defined as toxic clinical reactions to food or food additives that involve the immune system. (Figure 1. (Figure 2.
Healthy News and Information The next time you find yourself in the honey aisle of your grocery store, debating between a pricy premium, artisanal honey and the store-brand nectar contained in a plastic bear, you should probably think twice before choosing based on price. Here’s why… A searing investigation of the honey market by Food Safety News found that 76% of all honey bought at grocery stores were treated with a process called “ultra-filtration,” which removes not only impurities like wax, but also all traces of pollen. There are issues with ultra-filtration in general. But according to FSN, the biggest reason to avoid ultra-filtered honey is that pollen is the only sure-fire way to trace the source of honey to a geographic location. Food Safety News honey samples were sent to premier melissopalynologist and professor at Texas A&M University, Vaughn Bryant. -100 percent of Winnie the Pooh sold in Walmart stores had all pollen removed.

Food Sensitivities And Hashimoto's The Role of Food in Your Health Journey | Thyroid Pharmacist When I first set out in search of lifestyle interventions that could change the course of my autoimmune thyroid condition, I came across a promising Italian study. This researchers followed people who had subclinical hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and Celiac disease, as they embarked on starting a gluten-free diet. The study found that when most of the people with subclinical hypothyroidism were placed on a gluten-free diet, their thyroid function normalized! In 71% of people who strictly followed a 1-year gluten withdrawal (as confirmed by intestinal mucosa recovery), there was a normalization of subclinical hypothyroidism. Another 19% of people who followed the gluten-free diet were able to normalize their thyroid antibodies. Various studies have looked at the rates of Celiac disease in people with Hashimoto’s. I ended up finding another doctor on my insurance who was willing to test me for celiac disease, but to my relief (and disappointment), I was negative.
