The claims against gluten is that it is harsh on your body and digestive system. Your digestive system turns the food we eat into nutrients, in which our bodies use for energy, growth and cell repair. Gluten product is like glue, and our digestive system cannot digest these harsh products, leaving gluten to back up in our colon. When the colon backs up it causes our body to not absorb the nutrients we need.
There is medical condition where gluten destroys our bodies. One of these medical conditions is called Celica Disease it is estimated to affect 1 out of 100 people worldwide. The population that suffers Celica Disease cannot digest gluten leading to damage in there small intestines. How it damages the small intestines is when those who suffer from Celica Disease eat gluten products, then body’s natural immune response is to amount an attack on the villi leading to improper

Where 18 million American suffers from this sensitivity, that is 6 times more then who have Celica Disease. .These patients still try to eat gluten and have symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Only way to see if you have gluten sensitivity is to go gluten free following a reintroduction of gluten and see if symptoms return. Other digestive diseases exist where we should gluten free is s a good idea.
Gluten has been strongly associated with creating cancer cells. The claims are that gluten sits in our digestive system slowing it down and de-mineralizing, causing our body to lack the nutrition we need. When our body cannot properly absorb its nutrition the immune system becomes weak. 80% of our immune system is located in your digestive tract. According to Oncology there is no connection between gluten free and risk of most cancers. There are studies to show that eating gluten foods can lower the risk of cancer, most common types such breast, prostate and colon
Shakeology ingredients do not contain gluten. There are some clients who complained about developing celiac symptoms after drinking Shakeology though. They may have bought a pack that was contaminated with gluten. They could also be allergic to some of the ingredients in gluten. If you have celiac disease, it is advisable to exercise caution. You could begin by using half of the dosage. If it does not work for you, remember there is a money back
n, your body attacks it, and because it is similar to thyroid tissue, it can cause an autoimmune response. This can last up to 6 monts after each time you eat it. also people with HLA dq genes are more likely to be gluten intolerant.
Celiac Disease is an inflammatory disease that destroys the lining of the small intestines and prevents the absorption of nutrients and vitamins into the system. The patients' health suffers; their digestive system is unable to process gluten foods that contain wheat, barley, and oats. The cause of this disease is unknown; however, environmental factors and a genetic predisposition are suspected.
African American people are also more susceptible to pancreatic cancer, the cause of this is not known. Specifically “TP53, p16INK4A, and SMAD4. The p53 nuclear protein activates transcription of a cyclin kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1. Following genomic stress, inappropriate growth factor stimulation or expression of oncogenic ras increased expression of p53, and thus p21WAF1/CIP1 resulted in inactivation of specific CDK/cyclin complexes” (MedScape). If this transformed cell can escape internal and external fail-safe mechanisms, receive nutrients, and activate its proliferative program, it can form a mass of cancerous cells.
Celiac Sprue also known as celiac disease is a chronic disease of the digestive tract that interferes with the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. (Mohaumed Wehbi, MD) also Celiac Sprue is an immune reaction to eating gluten a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Due to the intestinal damage and malabsorption celiac sprue can reduce the quality of life due to diarrhea, fatigue weight loss, bloating, and anemia. The lining of the intestine contains essential enzymes for the absorption and digestion, its destruction leads to malabsorption, a difficulty in absorption of food and essential nutrients.
From 166 A.D. to 180 A.D., The Antonine Plague spread around Europe devastating many countries. This epidemic killed thousands per day and is also known as the modern-day name Smallpox. It is known as one of deadliest plagues around the world.
When born into this planet, there are many things you never truly learn until you grow older. You are born lost, but somehow, someway you will be found. Life is a puzzle, many people have many stories, many people have voices that share these stories, but some of those people don't have a voice, they don't tend to share this story they have of being found. Maybe because they were never found? They are still lost, and in the book Caucasia, written by Danzy Senna, it shows us a story of a girl who is lost. Birdie has a hard time, growing up because she comes from a biracial parent in the 1960’s in Boston. It was a lot about her, with her sister being black, and herself being white you are able to see that there may be favoritism from one parent
Celiac disease is when the lining of the small intestine is damaged due to ingesting foods that contain gluten (WebMD, 2014). It is an autoimmune disorder which means, that the body attacks healthy cells and tissues by mistake. The body forms antibodies to gluten and this causes the attack on the small intestine. As a result, inflammation occurs and this damages the microvilli hairs within the small intestine (WebMD, 2014). Without villi, nutrients can no longer be absorbed. Gluten is a protein and is found in all grains except for corn and rice (Hoehn & Marieb, 2013, p.898). It is often found in foods such as anything with wheat, cookies, cakes, donuts, pizza, muffins, rye, and sometimes canned soups (Celiac Disease and Gluten sensitivity, 2014). Gluten can also be found in products. Medicines, lip balms, and vitamins are all products that gluten may be found in (NDDIC, 2012). As I explained, the small intestine is damaged as a result of celiac disease. The small intestine plays a big role in absorbing nutrients. Damage to the small intestine results in lack of nutrient absorption. Some of the nutrients included are fats, calcium, and iron (WebMD, 2014). This can become a serious issue and must not be left unattended. It can lead to the onset of other diseases such as neurological disorders, other immune disorders, and cancer (NFCA, 2014). Often times when one family member has celiac disease, other immediate family members have it as well. Celiac disease can affect anyone, no matter their age, race, or gender. About 1 in every 100 people has celiac disease (Hoehn & Marieb, 2013, p.898). This is equivalent to about 1% of the population nationally. There is no particular demographic group that is affected.
Gluten is a protein found in common grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. Those affected with allergies to these foods (the most serious allergy being Celiac Disease) must follow a strict gluten-free diet in order to experience relief from their symptoms. Despite eliminating the ingestion of the allergen, gluten-free individuals begin to suffer from adverse side effects. In recent years, many Americans have begun to live an entirely gluten-free lifestyle with no medical necessity to do so. Many believe it to be a healthier diet, and even more believe it is an effective weight-loss tool. With this growing fad of adopting a gluten-free diet, under the false pretenses of varying health benefits, many Americans are exposing themselves to unnecessary health risks, over-priced and narrowly available foods, and an overall depletion of dietary needs.
Our immune system protects our bodies from pathogens like bacteria and viruses very efficiently in most cases. One big question that has come up is why does the immune system not respond to cancerous cells in the same way? Why are cancer cells not eradicated like other dangerous foreign cells? This seems very strange, especially since the immune system has cells that are specific to destroying cancer cells and virus-infected cells, called natural killer cells. To begin to answer this question it is useful to examine cancer cells and their interactions with the immune system in more detail.
"Another painful allergic reaction is called Celiac Disease. This reaction is caused by a chronic adverse reaction to gluten, a protein found in grain, wheat and corn. Children who have this disease, are sickly, have chronic diarrhea and fail to grow properly until all gluten containing products are taken out of the child's diet" (Edelson, 49).
Charcot Marie Tooth Disease is a neurological disorder named after the three physicians who first described it in 1886, Jean Martin Charcot and Pierre Marie from France and Howard Henry Tooth from the United Kingdom. Charcot Marie Tooth Disease is a group of hereditary disorders that damage the nerves in the arms and legs. When the parts of the nerves, the axons and the myelin, become damaged the messages that run along the nerves move more slowly or have a weak signal. Charcot Marie Tooth Disease is a disease of the peripheral nerves that controls the muscles. It is found in men and women, and slowly increases causing loss of normal use of the lower legs, feet, arms, and hands. Charcot Marie Tooth Disease is also known as hereditary sensory
...een as natural and fitting to ‘absurd’ advances of romance and closeness. At one point within the novel, Lenina seems to exhibit natural and unconditioned human behavior, but only for a fraction of a second. Ms. Crowne is horrified at the sight of blood and such savagery when a boy begins to get whipped, and all seems natural and sober to her, however, immediately she craves soma and an escape, which is the epitome of a World State citizen and their brain capacity. Not only this, but her attempts at relating and bonding with John the Savage fail miserably as she ends up closing herself off to him, through her childish actions towards him. While her actions may seem childish and rash to a reader, Lenina, in ‘Brave New World’ she is quite normal and sane to react in her way. She is simply a product of her surroundings and her creator. She is the World State in a human.
Wheat makes up about 20% of a daily human diet. It is highly nutritious, providing fiber, energy, and oils which are a necessity for productivity and efficiency in this fast-paced world. What creates the problem is that about 95% of wheat is refined, and the healthiest parts, bran and germ, are removed, leaving unhealthy white flour. The bran and the germ help digest gluten, but if gluten remains, it attaches to the lining of the stomach and slowly deteriorates is protective coating
The amount of stories of inadequate foods people have consumed with sickness or even death as a result is astonishing. Having a bad experience such as getting sick after eating something would certainly create a negative thought about that food, causing one to avoid it in the future. Another common reason for not eating certain foods is for the lack of nutrients contained. There are very few foods that I don’t eat because of bad experiences; therefore, most of the foods I avoid are a result of the small amount of nutrients contained in those foods.
