The Gluten Intolerance Epidemic: Monsantos Hegelian Dialectic Dream Come TrueMelissa Melton Gluten-free foods have now become a $4 billion dollar industry. More and more people are realizing every day that they arent as sick as they thought they were that a reaction to the gluten from wheat found in thousands of products on their grocery store shelves is actually damaging the lining of their intestine, rendering them unable to absorb nutrients properly, which manifests all sorts of horrible health issues. Gluten intolerance and celiac disease can actually present as over 200 different symptoms. For example, did you know that gluten sensitivities can show up as: And no, thats sadly not all. Due to glutens ability to render a sensitive person unable to properly absorb their nutrients, its also been tagged for a multitude of reproductive issues and cancer which is on the rise. While organizations such as one in 133 have sprung up around this issue, figures show that at least 18 million Americans are sensitive to gluten (meaning they experience negative health symptoms when they eat it) and another 3 million suffer from full-blown Celiacs Disease, which is an extreme form of gluten sensitivity that can be deadly (although all of it can ultimately be deadly). Those numbers are conservative at the very best; however, considering a) they are from 2011 and b) its a fact that some people dont show any hardcore symptoms at all totally leading them to believe they suffer from something other than gluten intolerance and the resultant nutrient deficiency that follows. Recently, research has come forward to suggest that its the main ingredient glyphosate in Big Agra giant Monsantos worldwide best-seller Roundup that is potentially behind the gluten intolerance epidemic were seeing today: Monsanto also began producing genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant sorghum in the last decade, which is used in many of the gluten-free foods that make up that $4 billion gluten-free food market and which Monsanto mentions on its website is an excellent substitute for wheat for those who cannot tolerate gluten. So what now? Gluten sensitivities are spreading throughout modern society like cancer, and glyphosate is everywhere these days. Were using more glyphosate now than at any other time since it was invented, and that figure is not set to lessen any time soon with the continued proliferation of Monsantos glyphosate-resistant crops all over the world. Well, the answer the scientific community has come up with isyou guessed itmore GMO. One of the key components of the research paper first mentioned above is the creation of a transgenic approach: So you see, we need genetic modification to save us from the burgeoning gluten intolerance issue! Well, who better to save us than global genetic modification giant Monsanto who is already in the process of testing a genetically modified strain of wheat as we speak? See how that works? Problem: glyphosate proliferation. Reaction: widespread gluten-intolerance. Solution: GMO wheat. Diabolical, no?
