GLUTEN-FREE: CANCER & CHRONIC ILLNESS ?

Less than 7% of Americans have a problem with gluten, a grain-related protein potentially leading to an autoimmune condition with intestinal damage – called celiac disease - with bloating and diarrhea. Additionally, it has become somehow ‘fashionable’ for more than 20% Americans to go gluten-free as well. Based on the assumption of feeling better without this natural protein. Some churches even offer gluten-free hosts. However, medical science has launched the warning that gluten-free may pave the way to cancer and other chronic illness. Just read on…

Perry Chatham from Little Rock, AK, asks:
 My sister Carol claims new happiness in her life since she went gluten-free. Does this mean that a healthy diet is not at all that ‘healthy’ as their proponents claim? Because gluten is part of natural diet, isn’t it, Doc?

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Dr. Fritz:
 
Gluten - a protein to be found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley, or their byproducts in the diet – is well known for its health benefit of, inter alia, reducing blood pressure and relieving inflammation, the natural way.
 
Still, according to U.S. vital statistics, less than 7% of our population with an autoimmune ailment named ‘celiac disease’ may have an intestinal problem because of gluten.
 
Additionally, some 20% of Americans are joining the gluten-free bandwagon, claiming better wellness. Some churches even offer gluten-free hosts.

MEDICAL SCIENCE WARNING

Besides of the fact that gluten-free diet in many cases has more fat and sugar, new medical research shows that avoiding gluten in the diet is all but a medicinal panacea.
 
E.g., according to latest findings at the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston, MA, a gluten-free diet doesn’t cure celiac disease in 20% of cases.
 
Even worse: based on latest research at the University of Illinois, there is a strong link between gluten-free and toxic metals in certain foods. To be more precise: mercury level in the blood was 70% higher in gluten-free candidates than regular (with gluten in the diet); in terms of arsenic, the difference was even 100%.
 
Increasing the risk of cancer and chronic disease for gluten-free diet considerably.

CONCLUSION

While further research on this issue is in the pipe, it may be strongly advisable for those not diagnosed with celiac disease, to refrain from gluten-free diet at this time.
