Rumor pseudoscience
In 20 19, the concept of gluten-free diet suddenly became popular. It is claimed that gliadin in gluten is the chief culprit of human allergy, and no corresponding protease can completely digest gluten, so the remaining gluten will damage intestinal mucosa and cause intestinal leakage.
The Dictionary of Nutrition Science points out that wheat gluten is actually "gluten" and is a very common food. "Gluten-free diet" is really effective for celiac disease patients.
Celiac disease refers to malabsorption syndrome caused by intolerance to gluten. The occurrence of this disease may be related to the pathogenesis of gliadin in gluten, immune response (harmful components in gluten) and genetic factors. Domestic data show that there are quite few people suffering from this disease in China.
However, no research shows that "gluten-free diet" has obvious benefits to the health of ordinary people. For ordinary people, a balanced diet is the most reliable way to ensure health.
China is well-off. Com-10 released a list of "pseudoscience" rumors susceptible to middle-aged and elderly people. Did you get caught?
