I agree..."IF" looking at these only to lose weight they're a diet. BUT that said, most of the folks I'm acquainted with (myself included) have health issues. There is such a thing as "gluten sensitivity"....gluten "is" in everything...some of it hidden and some not. There is a disease called celiac, which is very serious and life-threatening as well, if not treated. Too many folks aren't well-informed re: these two. This is a dialogue that doesn't bear well in a forum such as this as it's complicated. Do some research on both, add into this research into thyroid health and also leaky gut. We could go on and on. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water....examine the facts with folks' who have decided on this way of eating THEN decide. Eating protein, low carbs isn't necessarily bad for good health. My way of thinking is shop the perimeter of the store and forget the middle aisles. Many folks don't think they can do this...nor do they want to as it's "change".
