Does bread make you dumb? Gluten found to restrict blood flow to the brain, according to new research

( Natural News ) There’s nothing quite like fresh pasta or bread and butter, but if you want to keep your brain at its best, it may be time to say “bye bye” to your beloved, glutinous carbohydrates. Decades of research shows that gluten can have an array of adverse effects on brain health, and new studies show that the protein actually inhibits blood flow to the brain.

Gluten is a protein found in a number of grains which gives food structure, texture and acts as a “glue” to hold everything together. Grains that contain gluten include wheat, barley, rye and triticale — but gluten can be found in many unexpected places. Gluten can be found in everything from snack foods to soups to processed meats.

Gluten on the brain Sayer Ji, founder of Green Med Info , reports that over 60 years worth of research has tied gluten consumption to the onset of schizophrenia. Back in 1954, Ji says, scientists found that following a gluten-free diet was an effective strategy for managing or fully resolving cases of schizophrenia. Since that time, much of the research on gluten’s brain effects has been focused on the relationship between gluten and the gut-brain axis. But, as Ji reports, there is a growing body of research which points to another possible cause: Gluten cuts off blood flow to the brain. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all […]
