Episode 416: Is Bread Dead? Gluten Updates

Is bread dead? Should everyone across the board avoid gluten or is there a time and place? Is it really the gluten that is causing issues or is it the hybridized wheat in the U.S. combined with high levels of glyphosate?    We’ve been recommending a gluten free diet for years, so you might be surprised to hear Ali and Becki discussing considerations of consuming gluten! In this episode, we discuss pros and cons of gluten, the shortcomings of gluten-free options, and ultimately what priorities are when focused on nourishment and least toxicity.   Episode 74: Are You Still Eating Gluten?
