Greetings!

It is beautiful May in Boulder! All my veggies are in the ground in anticipation of a bountiful harvest this year and so far all things in the garden show promise, it being so new and fresh in the season before the weeds, drought, insects, all else that can interfere, arrive. I could perhaps say that May is one of my favorite months here in Boulder...

Just as the garden is so full of potential now, what else in our lives has potential, or even was thwarted from reaching its potential? I think that our bodies often suffer from the neglect of having to attend to other obligations and priorities. We often do not eat as well as we should, exercise as much as we should, sleep as much as we should, and we often are exposed to toxins in food, people, and in the environment that we would be better off not to have come in contact with.

There is new evidence that gluten is increasingly showing itself not to be fit for human consumption. There is newer research linking it to a whole host of autoimmune conditions, not just celiac disease. Why is that? I don't have a real concrete answer for that but my current thinking is that the grains that contain gluten have themselves been altered and hybridized to withstand drought, pollution, scale, fungus, pests, etc, to the point where it has been rendered undigestible. I look forward to seeing research on this unfold so we can figure out why the consumption of gluten is causing so many health issues in so many people.
