  • A press release from the American Heart Association conference: Low Gluten Diets May Be Associated with Higher Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
  • List is a press release on not yet published study.
  • Lowest gluten had 13% increase of Type 2 Diabetes.
  • There was no gluten free groups and these people weren’t pursuing a low gluten diet.
  • Corrected for fiber intake, but no other risk factors
  • This finding contradicts all other studies comparing gluten-free diets and Type 2 Diabetes.
  • In fact recent study came out with mice that found gluten-free diets could be therapeutic for Type 2.

  • She is the author of The Wahls Protocol and the upcoming The Wahls Protocol: Cooking for Life
  • Dr Wahls hasn’t seen the press release, but seems like something from the trend of trying to debunk gluten free as a fad diet.
  • While it’s true that some gluten free people replace gluten foods with more expensive non-gluten grains, it is certainly not a nutrient deficient diet to replace gluten with vegetables like Dr. Wahls recommends
  • Many study authors seem to be trying to design studies to debunk gluten free and their methods are flawed. Reading a press release or an abstract makes it difficult to figure out whether the study is valid.
  • Stacy always ask what nutrients are you missing out on that you can’t get from things that are not grains?
  • They took 4 studies that correlated a large number of chronic health issues and tracked self reported food frequency. They split the groups into high gluten, medium gluten and low gluten and found the 13% lower risk in the high gluten group
  • If you are sensitive then a low amount of gluten could maintain high inflammation
  • They didn’t report any other health condition correlation. Could this mean there is none?
  • There are studies out there that find that Paleo diets could be good for diabetes. So why take this one study as definitive?
  • Dr. Wahl’s new book is The Wahls Protocol: Cooking for Life
  • She found that people who wanted to do her protocol were have trouble learning how to shift to cooking this way.
  • The book is full of resources, techniques and tips and recipes.
  • It’s also designed around templates and techniques on how to adapt the templates to their own preferences.
