The food the people in this world eat today, is total CRAP. - :-/ K&R n/t DeSwiss Jun 2012 #1

So is that picture. What's it got to do with the thread? freshwest Jun 2012 #21
I'm guessing it's b/c if you stuff yourself with crap food, you become obese & get bowel diseases wordpix Jun 2012 #30
There has also been a rise in Celiac disease (caused by gluten ingestion), pnwmom Jun 2012 #2
I've been wondering about that. shcrane71 Jun 2012 #7
It hasn't been such a large part of the diet. For example, in Ireland pnwmom Jun 2012 #9
But wheat wasn't making people sick for so many years? shcrane71 Jun 2012 #11

Thanks for the links. I'll have to research this. nt shcrane71 Jun 2012 #13
I knew a guy whose family raised wheat. He told me that the wheat we eat is not the wheat we ate. TalkingDog Jun 2012 #14

Yes - it's called einkorn wheat. noamnety Jun 2012 #17

Also lots of tinkering with wheat gluten to make it a protein source. GoCubsGo Jun 2012 #35
maybe people have reactions to the pesticides & after-harvest chemicals sprayed on wheat, nuts, etc wordpix Jun 2012 #33
This probably does not help. But the fact that gluten has been selected for TalkingDog Jun 2012 #39
Wheat was heavily hybridized Richard D Jun 2012 #37
Do you know why? Was it so it would work better in processed foods? n/t pnwmom Jun 2012 #66

I think its related to anti-biotic medicines. DCBob Jun 2012 #29
it's not a controversial topic at the hospital where I work magical thyme Jun 2012 #34
I have talked to some Drs about this.. DCBob Jun 2012 #38
Possible. But antibiotics were overused to a greater extent in the past. LeftishBrit Jun 2012 #41
I agree. laundry_queen Jun 2012 #45
Yeah, antibiotics have been overprescribed for a long time and we are now seeing the results. DCBob Jun 2012 #47
Pretty much everything in your short post is completely untrue Godhumor Jun 2012 #43
Eveything in your post indicates you are completely uninformed.. DCBob Jun 2012 #46
Oh no, I know all about the biodem movement and the new form of woo it is proposing Godhumor Jun 2012 #50
The link I posted references a respectable peer reviewed professional journal. DCBob Jun 2012 #51
Yes, I wasn't disputing the study I was disputing the conclusions from your first link Godhumor Jun 2012 #52
Do you dispute this... DCBob Jun 2012 #55
sorry then, I take some of this personally Godhumor Jun 2012 #58
No problem.. DCBob Jun 2012 #59
Well, if I had to guess, at this point, I think we will see one of two things... Godhumor Jun 2012 #60
A lot of it is increased diagnosis, judging from my own experience LeftishBrit Jun 2012 #40
The only thing Age of Autism is good for is being the toilet of the Web Godhumor Jun 2012 #42
I checked out their website 4th law of robotics Jun 2012 #49
AoA is ground zero for the anti-vac nutters Godhumor Jun 2012 #53
That sounds horrific 4th law of robotics Jun 2012 #54
In addition to being off-topic your post is fiction, hence, no link. proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #61
Fact. LeftyMom Jun 2012 #71
Well, the ONLY mention of Kerri Rivera @ the AoA website is found within a single comment to a post. proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #76
MMS as been promoted on AoA since at least 2009. LeftyMom Jun 2012 #77
Anyone reading the archives of the AoA website realizes that your claim is blatantly false. proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #84
Like I said, 2009. And it's still being talked about in glowing terms as recently as a week ago. LeftyMom Jun 2012 #90
I have also seen autistic DUers decry AOA obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #80
And here come the anti-vax nuts. Odin2005 Jun 2012 #104
BTW, certain pediatric gastroenterologists are unsung heroes in the battle to understand autism - proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #62

RE POST #74. Harvard's 'woo'? proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #89
free country, of course. my disgust is anti-vaccers and their ilk hurt children Godhumor Jun 2012 #91
Preposterous. Harvard's pediatric GI MDs invent the field, co-author text books, rewrite paradigms. proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #92
more Wakefield advocates, more AoA nonsense Godhumor Jun 2012 #93
Try using AoA in its role as an autism news aggregator instead of as a primary source - dual roles. proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #94
Not junk science??? The main hypothesis there is that vaccines cause autism! Godhumor Jun 2012 #95
Sadly, uh, no, it's more nuanced than that AS ADMITTED BY NONCONTROVERSIAL EXPERTS. proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #97
Hardly slander. Hell, I'll double down. Godhumor Jun 2012 #99
If the environment is a factor, it's a variable which can be altered. What does that threaten? proverbialwisdom Jun 2012 #101
