celiac disease
the grains that cause
this illness
Eating grain products - breads, cakes, cereals
- have long been consider a healthy
choice. If you look at the RDA recommendations,
grains, at the bottom of the pyramid,
are what you should be eating the most of to
maintain a healthy body.
The RDA’s recommendations do not consider any
food to be harmful for you. You must remember
that the RDA’s recommendations come from a
government agency and indicating a particular
food could be harmful to your health could
financially affect that industry. The government
does not want to destroy any industry even if it is
harmful to your health. Just look at the smoking
industry. It’s still alive.
In medical and alternative medicine circles,
celiac disease is well known for being the cause
of numerous detrimental body conditions. In its
basic form, celiac disease is the damage of the
intestinal lining by gluten proteins, which come
from grains - the bottom of the pyramid.
Let’s get technical for a moment and say that
the specific proteins in gluten that damage the
intestine are called “gliadin.”
What you need to know about gliadin is that
when you eat it, it acts like an invading substance,
which activates your body’s immune system to
destroy and eliminate the invader - your favorite
food bread and cereals.
Eating an excess of gluten causes celiac disease.
Where is gluten found? It is found in products
made from wheat, rye, barley, kamut, triticale,
oats, and spelt.
It is now well established in medicine that 1 in
approximately 100 have celiac disease. Many
have the disease without having any symptoms.
The continual use of and eating of detrimental
grains will eventually bring on symptoms. People
with celiac disease can expect to have illnesses
associated or connected with:
• cancer
• epilepsy
• attention deficit disorders
• auto immune diseases
• osteoporosis
• brain disorders
• neurological diseases
• premature death
• premature births
• chronic liver diseases
• gastrointestinal problems
• food allergies
• chronic fatigue
• malnutrition
and the list goes on and on.
