Charlize Theron Calls "BS" on Gluten-free Diet Fadists

I think she has a very foul mouth actually. And, is entitled to her opinion, as we all are. I do agree that some gluten-free items taste rather foul too! But, my body is so very thankful that they exist....

I do not believe anything she said. I think she was just running her mouth and cussing like a sailor. It's not attractive to hear such language come from someones mouth, especially a woman. I think she was just running her mouth. Perhaps it offended her in some way. And buy the way.....gluten-free is NOT skinny food. Her ignorance is showing.

Oh, and my gluten free baked goods are delicious. I make delicious brownies, cup cakes, pies, cookies and they are wonderful.

I think she should take a look at my son's skin that looks like we put his foot in acid, oh yeah and let her take care of my 5 year old grand daughter when she has had diarrhea for 5 hours straight and can't stop crying, and let her take a look at the results of my endoscopic intestine test results that deems me undernourished even though I weight 150 pounds. I think that people, famous or not should keep their big mouths shut until they have done years of research. And to think that I was once a fan of hers, Now, I just think she is an idiot!

My father and I have both been diagnosed as celiac. Celiac is a medically defined condition where the consumption of most types of grain inhibits the small intestine's ability to absorb nutrients from food by "flattening" the small hairs that actually get them out of the food we eat. It may cause flatulence, weight loss, or upset stomach, and it increases the risk of developing certain types of cancer.

I am very disappointed that a celebrity such as her would say something like that. She knows that whatever comes out of her mouth is followed my many people as gospel - therefore she knows she will affect so many by what she says and therefore many will suffer because of it. Such a silly statement to make to the public. I can't imagine having this woman as an ambassador for anything.

On the other hand -perhaps the cupcakes weren't well made.

She should have chronic migraines like me everyday of her life for 15 years, then realize that after going gluten-free for a month they are gone. She obviously isn't educated..oh well, her loss.

Charlize has a real potty-mouth, and is not overly bright. Does she think that gluten free means sugar free, since she blasted the cupcake for not having sugar. I don't believe actors are medical experts, just because they are popular. And I sure wouldn't take any advice or change my diet on their say-so. I have celiac and food allergies. I would never put anyone down for eliminating certain foods from their diets, for whatever reason. If they say something makes them feel bad when eaten, I'm not going to tell them they are full of BS.

This article shows her stupidity and lack of information about a serious disease. If she had celiac disease, she would be singing a different song. Comments from celebrities carry no weight and are usually inaccurate. Please don't share them any more.

On the one hand, the fad has bought more products to Canadian grocery store shelves - but, on the other hand, the prices sure haven't come down.

There is a big difference in gluten-free and sugar-free. They are not the same. It sounds like the cupcakes sent to her were gluten and sugar free. I am glad all the Hollywood types got into the gluten free fad because it gave us folks with celiac a lot more gluten free products and restaurants with gluten free foods other than salad.

The stupid thing is she said "no sugar" that just indicates the ignorance of the matter. I can't eat artificial

Sweeteners either, because they give me migraines. But we are talking about the sensitivity of gluten-- flour and other processed grains. I've had better gluten free items than Twinkies, Hohos and a few other processed crap. I've been gluten free for four years before the stupid Hollywood diet craze. BTW- losing weight isn't the objective, it's not having allergic reactions such as peanut allergies - is that b.s., too? My allergies, asthma and digestive issues have not only improved but are rarely ever a problem. It usually happens when there is cross pollination. People shouldn't make comments that they are obviously IGNORANT about the facts. Perhaps if one became educated about a subject then an intelligent comment would be acceptable. Thanks Hollywood for making another stupid assumption.
