32 FACTS ABOUT GLUTEN SENSITIVITY
What is Gluten?
Gluten is the major protein component of wheat, rye & barley. It comprises of 80% of all wheat proteins present in gluten-containing grains. The major known form of gluten sensitivity is known as Celiac disease.

Grains are addictive!
Eating grains produces gluteomorphins, which have effects on morphine-like receptors in our
brains. Gluteomorphins impair memory, alertness, and concentration.

Grains have only been in our diets for 10,000 years, when modern agriculture began.
Grains are dry, hard, and difficult to digest. There was likely no need for grains as a dietary source since other foods were more accessible.

Humans have declined in health since eating grains:
- Average height has reduced. Anthropologist Lawrence Angel found that before agriculture Adult males averaged 5’11”, females averaged 5’6” and after agriculture Adult males averaged 5’6”, females 5”.
- Bone and tooth decay have become more prevalent.
- Decrease in human brain size by 11%
- Life span has reduced.
(Evidence obtained from fossils over the last 30,000 years.)

Grains Contain Anti-Nutrients:
- Phytates, which Inhibit nutrient absorbtion by binding with minerals before they can be absorbed.

Who has Gluten Sensitivity?
It is estimated that between 30-50% of people have gluten sensitivity.
- Gluten researcher Dr. Thomas O’Bryan thinks NO humans can properly digest gluten.
*It generally takes 5-10 years to diagnose celiac disease and even longer for gluten intolerance.
- Gluten sensitivity = severely underestimated

How does Gluten damage the body?
- Immune cells make antibodies against gluten. The attack on gluten pollutes the battleground & intestinal walls become inflamed, impairing digestion, and causing “leaky gut syndrome” where gluten & other food particles can sneak through. In the bloodstream, gluten stimulates an immune attack that can circulate to the heart, brain, joints & other places.

Gluten Sensitivity can cause B12 & folate deficiencies:
- Glut flora produces these nutrients.
- Glut flora produces these nutrients.
Brain Cells that help with balance are destroyed:
The antibody our immune systems produce to attack the protein Gliadin also attacks Purkinje cells in your cerebellum, which are the main components of the balancing center. Poor balance and coordination are the result.

Gluten, Stress and Adrenal Exhaustion:
Our Immune System, Reproductive System, Metabolism and survival responses are all housed within the adrenal glands. Gluten causes chronic stress on the adrenal glands, eventually causing adrenal exhaustion.

“When your body does not tolerate gluten, fatigue hits you from all angles.”

How much Gluten is okay to eat if I’m Gluten Sensitive?
*One study found that one milligram of gluten (1/60th of a teaspoon of wheat flour) was enough to prevent intestinal healing.
