People with Celiac disease should not eat gluten, period. But people who have gluten sensitivities in the US are sometimes able to eat gluten when travelling in Europe without any issues. This could be due to a few different factors. For one, gluten content varies depending on the type of wheat being used. Wheat grown in the US is predominantly hard red wheat, which has a higher gluten content than the soft wheat grown in Europe.![]()

Europe has also banned many chemicals that are used in the US food supply such as: potassium bromate, red dye no. 40, yellow dyes no. 5 and 6, chlorine-washed poultry, rGBH or rBST growth hormones used in cows, genetically modified fruits and vegetables, BPA, and others. Glyphosate, for example is used far more in the US than in Europe, and is even sprayed on wheat and other crops prior to harvest. One study found that “fish exposed to glyphosate develop digestive problems that are reminiscent of celiac disease.” Other food additives that are used in the US but banned in Europe could be disrupting the gut microbiota and leading to digestive issues that do not present when eating food that is not as chock-full of chemicals![]()

This a post from the magazine "What Doctors Don't Know". I am posting it because there have been information recently that we do not need to take a Vitamin D3 supplement in the winter because we get enough sunshine.![]()

Vitamin D—the ‘sunshine vitamin’—could be the key nutrient that’s needed for living a long life.![]()
![]()
People with low levels of the vitamin are 25 percent more likely to die prematurely from heart disease, cancer or respiratory complications, say researchers from the University of South Australia.![]()
![]()
Up to 50 percent of populations in northern hemispheres are ‘severely deficient’ in the vitamin, the result of a combination of weaker sunshine and ‘safe sun’ health policies.![]()
![]()
The researchers analysed data from more than 307,000 participants in the UK Biobank project, and there were 18,700 deaths in the 14 years of the study. The researchers discovered that deaths were more common in people with vitamin D deficiency, and the risk of premature death was 25 percent greater than in those with optimum levels, characterised as 50 nanomoles per litre of blood (nmol/L).![]()
![]()
After taking into account other factors, the researchers said there was a direct causal link between vitamin deficiency and premature death.![]()
![]()
The nutrient’s protective effect was ‘L-shaped’, the researchers said. In other words, there was no further benefit beyond having optimal levels.![]()

Aside from getting more sunshine—sunbathing for up to an hour in the summer so the skin reddens but doesn’t burn—dietary sources of the vitamin include fatty fish, such as salmon, swordfish and tuna, and cod liver oil. ![]()
