Remember in my other thread I said gluten sensitivity doesn't seem as big of a thing here (where-I-live-in-Europe)? Well, it did occur to me that it simply wasn't as well known, yet. But my personal, working hypothesis, as mentioned before, is that recent generations (past 100 years?) have over-consumed wheat, and thus have been more prone to develop sensitivities. My suspicion is that the industrial revolution has contributed to this by altering western food supply... maybe in various ways.
Well, then, while investigating how to mix my (I-don't-care-if-they're-gluten-filled) cakes, I read this: (http://pastrychefonline.com/2009/01/...ifferent-cake/) Quote:
===================== These are both good reasons why: 1) gluten sensitivity has not been as big in Europe, thus far and 2) gluten sensitivity is coming to Europe! Also kinda supports my hypothesis that humans and wheat are not natural enemies. My thinking is that a small exposure to regular wheat, historically, might not have produced any auto-immue response. But over-consumption of wheat products can lead to sensitivity, thus producing the damaging auto-immune responses. Clearly, richer-in-gluten wheat will elicit such responses at an even lower threshold of consumption, making high wheat consumption even more problematic. ================= Note on sources.... I need to find that European article about modern wheat, to check if sources are bona fide. I believe the cook, because the presence of gluten makes itself known, in cake-making. |

This is interesting!
Alot of european countries have banned many ingrediants of products produced in the usa that are shipped over. But the manufacturer of said products still put them in the usa products...these artificial ingrediants are banned there but not here! The food babe and her army of followers have been able to shed some light and work for change. bizi
