But the claim that the more productive wheat is somehow making people sick didn't sound right to scientists who work with the crop.
"I never thought that wheat was toxic," says Donald Kasarda, who has studied gluten proteins for more than 40 years as a research chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Kasarda says when he saw there was speculation that the rise in celiac disease and gluten sensitivities was linked to breeders increasing the amount of gluten in wheat, he was very skeptical.
"It seemed strange to me," says Kasarda. As far as he knew, gluten levels had remained about the same. And when he dug deeper, combing through the scientific literature, he found no significant differences in gluten levels in wheat from the early part of the 20th century, compared with gluten levels from the latter half of the century. read more
TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Heavy Bag Workout and Lots of Fall Garden Cleanup
After my morning client sessions, I spent a few hours on fall cleanup in the garden......still plenty left to do, but I'm ahead of the game compared to last year.
Later I spent 30 mins on the heavy bag.
