World-renowned gluten-related disorders expert Dr. Alessio
Fasano presents the groundbreaking roadmap to a gluten-free
lifestyle, and how millions can live better by going gluten
free.
For centuries, bread has been known as the "staff of life." But
for millions of Americans affected by gluten-related disorders,
consuming gluten, the complex protein found in wheat, rye, and
barley, can be hazardous to their health. In a recent poll
presented by Scientific American, over 30% of Americans reported
wanting to cut down or eliminate gluten from their diets; the
gluten-free market is a $6.3 billion industry and continues to
expand.
Now, in "Gluten Freedom, " Alessio Fasano, MD, world-renowned
expert and founder of Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for
Celiac Research, reveals the latest developments in scientific
research and treatment, and the answers they provide for this
rapidly expanding audience. This groundbreaking, authoritative
guide is an invaluable roadmap for the newly diagnosed, for those
already dealing with gluten-related issues, and for anyone who
thinks they may have an issue with gluten.
Distinguishing scientific fact from myth, "Gluten Freedom
"explains the latest research, diagnostic procedures, and
treatment/diet recommendations, helping consumers make the best
choices for themselves and their families. "Gluten Freedom" also
discusses important nutritional implications for behavior-related
diagnoses such as autism and conditions such as depression,
anxiety, and "foggy mind." Other highlights include:
