[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gluten is a protein that is produced when certain grains are processed in certain ways. "Processed" in this sense can mean the most fundamental way of putting ingredients together; we create gluten in our home kitchen several times a month when we make bread, pasta, or pizza dough from scratch.

Some people can't process gluten: in people with celiac's, their immune system fights against it. That doesn't mean that gluten is bad for everyone all the time. [/quote]

Agreed. Humans have been cultivating grains and making bread/pasta long before the advent of the modern American diet.  And rice is a staple in Asian cuisines yet they have some of the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease.  It's all about balance and moderation.  Sure, boxed Mac n cheese every night gives an unhealthy picture of pasta, but things like a dinner of whole wheat pasta, followed by homemade stir fry w/rice, quinoa salad, lentil/barley soup for subsequent dinners looks a lot better, no?

Anytime milk or yogurt is flavored there's bound to be sugar!  Buy plain and add flavorings yourself.[/quote]
