Curious what Peat proponents think about Gluten. Most everything I find about Gluten online seems to range from 'mildly harmful' to 'cut this out and it will change your life'.
Here's a fairly level headed video I found on the topic:

Personally, as far as I can tell, I do well on white bread, nice and simple carbs that are easy to digest, and dips well in other things I like, such as yogurt, or meat sauces. I don't mind a rye or other more 'complex' bread with a good sandwich, assuming all ingredients are decent. But am I leaving health benefits on the table by not cutting out Gluten?
What's the 'Peat' view here?
EDIT - the real interesting discussion is, if gluten is bad, what's worse? PUFA or Gluten? I think they're interesting to compare because they both have graphs like this, where they go 'up and to the right' and correlate with bad health outcomes on a population-wide level, at least in the developed world. Though now that I look at the two sample graphs (first one from the video), arguably the PUFA one is much more telling...
But does this exonerate Gluten? I just find it interesting that so much Gluten science and theories can be presented, fairly convincingly, with links to chronic health issues. However my background in Peat-related topics leads me to think that PUFA is way bigger of an issue. So would love to hear your thoughts!
