Many people are having trouble digesting gluten and some get severely sick after eating it! Why all of sudden in the last two decades has gluten become so hard for humans to digest? People had no problem eating pizza in the 1990s. Today, just one bite can cause severe digestive distress for many. Our grandparents didn’t have issues with gluten, why do we? Blaming gluten is like focusing on the smoke instead of the fire! As I share in my #1 best-selling book Food Sanity, forensic fossil evidence of our caveman ancestors proves we’ve been eating gluten for 3 1/2 million years. According to research conducted by the University of Utah, 40% of our ancestors' diet was gluten.

A major reason so many have developed gluten intolerant is because they are consuming a chemical called glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup. This toxic chemical kills weeds but it also destroys the lining of our colon, creating a "leaky gut." This allows toxins, microbes, undigested food particles, and antibodies to escape from our intestines and travel throughout the body via the bloodstream. We can't put the blame on gluten!

In a study published in the journal Interdisciplinary Toxicology, researchers found a profound link to people ingesting glyphosate and developing celiac disease and gluten intolerance. This herbicide also destroys the intestinal walls of fish.

Now that glyphosate is getting the attention it deserves, losing a $2 Billion verdict and being labeled as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and the state of California, hopefully, there will be more focus on its causative relationship to the escalating epidemic of gut dis-ease.

HOW YOU CAN AVOID CONSUMING GLYPHOSATE:

Unfortunately, glyphosate is showing up in everything from fruits, veggies, wine, beer, drinking water, chips, honey, to infant formula! In Food Sanity, I share several tips on how to avoid consuming this toxic chemical. Here are a few:

1. Shop for USDA certified organic food. Roundup is prohibited on organic crops. Blood tests on people that eat organic foods show less glyphosate in their system.

2. Eat locally grown produce, like at a local coop or Farmer’s Market. The farther your food travels, the more processing it endures, and the greater the risk of contamination.

3. Grow your own produce. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate garden. I have a tiny garden that is only 10 x 3 feet. I grow my own herbs, organic tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, blueberries, squash, and strawberries. You can see pictures of my garden with other healthful tidbits by following me Instagram: DrDFriedman.

4. Don’t use Roundup! You can make your own weed killer using vinegar and Epsom salts. This will kill the weeds while being environment and pet-friendly. If you want to get a non-toxic pre-made product, one that I recommend is called Doctor Kirchner’s Natural Weed Killer. It’s made with ocean water and food-grade vinegar. The ocean water is collected at high tide and contains 70 minerals and trace elements including magnesium, calcium, and potassium. This enriches the ground, making it more suitable for future plant growth. Just say no to Roundup! ~ Dr David Friedman

Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction

FOODSANITY.COM

As health expert for Lifetime television’s syndicated morning show and radio host, Dr. David Friedman has spent 18 years interviewing hundreds of health advocates, scientists, doctors and bestselling authors. His goal has always been to share research-based advice to help his audience reach their optimal health. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened.

Instead, every guest would leave his audience (and himself) more confused. The proponent of a vegan lifestyle would contradict the Paleo enthusiast. Those who swear by the Mediterranean eating style would be opposed to what the Gluten Free experts reported. Every week it was a new thing. Frustrated with so much biased and conflicting information, Dr. Friedman dove into the research and took a common sense meets com mon science approach. In his award-winning, #1 national best selling book, Food Sanity, how to eat in a world of fads and fiction, Dr. Friedman clears up the contradictions and misconceptions about what we are (and are not) supposed to eat.

Here’s just a taste of what you’ll learn in Food Sanity:

The one thing missing from most diets that causes you to regain your weight back, and then some. Vegan, Paleo, Keto, Medite, which is better? You don’t need to drink cow’s milk for strong bones. In fact, research shows it causes brittle bones! Beef doesn’t give us the protein humans require.

Fish do not contain toxic levels of mercury and can be eaten every day!

Eggs do not cause high cholesterol. In fact, they lower it!

Many health experts say gluten is a leading cause of disease but research shows it reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, lowers blood sugar and aids in weight loss!

Counting calories makes you gain weight.

Salt (the right kind) isn’t bad for you. It reduces heart disease, lowers blood pressure and aids in weight loss.

Some vitamin supplements are made from toxic ingredients also used to make gasoline, nail polish remover, laundry detergent and ammonia.
