At the moment
this is a circumstantial linkage but we have ample other reasons to lower our
gluten intake. It is very much too much
of a good thing. The second take-home is
to limit exposure to roundup and I do not think that can be accomplished
easily.
A far more
likely driver toward gluten intolerance is the rise of refined gluten based
products of all kinds. Add in our daily
dose of sugar and it is a wonder that the body can function at all.
Thus diet limitation
of wheat products and refined sugars needs to be on everyone’s to do list. Then see how the body is responding. That will take a lot of time because you are
undoing a lifetime.
Roundup
herbicide linked to celiac disease and gluten intolerance, new study suggests
monday, March 03, 2014 by: J. D. Heyes
(NaturalNews) A new study has found that the world's
best-selling herbicide is linked to the global rise of celiac disease, gluten
intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome.
According to the U.S. peer-reviewed study, the details of which were published
by Dr. Anthony Samsel and Dr. Stephanie Seneff, the rise in disease has
coincided with the increased use of glyphosate (Roundup) herbicide.
The paper has been published in the Journal of Interdisciplinary
Toxicology.
The researchers say that, based on their findings, one in 20 people in North
America and Western Europe how suffer from celiac disease, which is essentially
gluten intolerance.
"Gluten intolerance is a growing epidemic in the U.S. and, increasingly,
worldwide," said the researchers in their paper.
"All of the known biological effects of glyphosate -- cytochrome P450
inhibition, disruption of synthesis of aromatic amino acids, chelation of
transition metals, and antibacterial action -- contribute to the pathology of
celiac disease," the paper states.
Widespread planting of Roundup Ready genetically modified crops has made
Monsanto's Roundup the number-one selling herbicide. But, according to this
latest study, its increased use has come at a price.
As described by Sustainable Pulse:
Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and
interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac
disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is
found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as
medicines, vitamins, and lip balms.
When people with the condition eat foods that contain gluten, their immune systems
respond by destroying or damaging villi -- the small, fiber-like protrusions
that line the small intestine. Normally, villi allow food nutrients to be
absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, but
without healthy villi, celiac sufferers can become malnourished, regardless of
the amount of food they ingest.
