One who often and aggressively expresses their
opinion about gluten but knows almost nothing about it.
A Glutard will not know:
- What gluten actually is.
- That gluten free food is more processed than their gluten counterparts because the wheat gluten must be extracted.
- What current science says about real gluten intolerance (Celiac disease).
- How gluten intolerance occurs (such as believing that you can breath gluten in like asbestos or absorb gluten through the
skin and hair)
A Glutard
will speak absolute lies, such as:
- gluten is a"chemical additive" put there by "the food industry."
- gluten free food is more "natural."
- gluten causes cancer.
- gluten causes illness
X or making
us all sick/dumb/obedient, etc.
-
Will mix/match/interchange gluten with various substances which aren't gluten (such as Monosodium glutamate, known as
MSG)
A Glutard's
opinion of the negative effects of gluten also extend beyond diet alone. Their "knowledge" of gluten is made up of complete lies and/or marketing information from labelled gluten free food products.
True example:
Person 1: "So, what are the advantages of gluten free
soap? I thought gluten only affected your diet?"
Glutard: "It's been proven that
soap releases gluten fibers which you can breath in and make you sick. This is why you sometimes feel out of breath after a
shower."
The
guy at the health food counter at whole foods is a glutard, he told me that eating gluten causes
brain abnormalities in laboratory
rats.
