A gluten-free chocolate cake make from quinoa.
Gluten-free diets are medically necessary for some, especially those with celiac disease, and have become something of a trend for many others. In fact, it’s estimated that a third of Americans now try to avoid gluten, but some wonder if wheat, barley and rye – the primary grains that contain the protein – are really the problem. We talk with a science writer about the rise of autoimmune diseases and whether that trend is being conflated with gluten intolerance.
