I imagine a number of people are adamantly against genetically modified crops, but this article is a step in the right direction for many of us.

I have mentioned about this before but it sort of a pointless endeavor lol. The whole gluten protein is what give wheat its good bread/baked goods attribute. You remove it and you having to add gums and binders to it just like non wheat or gluten flours......you also then have a food you body might not identify as food as it has been genetically modified. It will also be more expensive then even other gluten free flours.............SO better off just not even bothering with it.

Snowball chance in hell of passing here in the US as a treatment, but if you can use crisper etc to genetically remove gluten from wheat...you can remove the gene and turn off the immune response in humans to gluten.....yeah they are not going to do that as there is no money in it, and it could go VERY wrong and kill people or make s$#& 10x worse.
Just going to drop this and hope the freaks trying to make this crap die in some horrible accident.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.

      Chili's Gluten-Free Dining Experience – What’s Your Take?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.
