We'll she's entitled to her own opinions...but she's wrong. People who are based on a gluten-free diet do so because of a condition known as coeliac/celiac disease. It doesn't mean that it's bad for everyone! Grains are perfectly fine and wheat and barley were domesticated about 10,000 years ago. If it was bad, we would have known about it in that time.
And what could she possibly have against dairy products?
My mother is a registered dietitian. She went to Grad school for this stuff. She
still regularly updates her information with meetings, conferences, lectures, etc.
She says the anti-grain, anti-dairy idea is ridiculous. We had a conversation on this last Thursday. I'm more inclined to listen to
her.
The thing about using "Gluten-free" people as an example is that if they're going through all the effort to make sure their diet is gluten-free, chances are, they're going to be paying much more attention to their physical health than an average Joe.
Its like comparing apples to "What the Hell are you talking about?"
However, corn syrup
is bad. And guess what? Its made through manufacturing and has only been available to the masses for decades, not millennia. And its introduction to the food industry directly correlates with the increase in obesity in America. If any foodstuffs should be persecuted, its this.
If she's preaching about the dangers of grains and dairy, but
not corn syrup, she's obviously just jumped on some health fad bandwagon and hasn't done any research, or is only reading what the fad people tell her.
