Thanks for the link to this one. WOW! I read the entire thing and think it is a medical nightmare at this point, being our food is in the hands of big business. This info could save lives, but on a large scale would require a massive shift in mutipul industries. This is something that each individual and family needs to look at personally, because the great news is that it can be accomplished individually! I never thought that the changes in smoking would happen either but it did!!! I'll be sending this link to my family and friends, many of whom are suffering with obvious symptoms. Again our animals are revealing the truth. The issues with horse nutrition, obesity and cushings better be our wake-up call. Think about what Temple Gradin discussed about breeding genetics and the unintended consequences. Now think about genetic engineering of our food!OMG!

I am glad you'all are enjoying it. I have been aware of my issues with wheat for some years now and do a pretty good job of staying away from it (had to give up my pasta and sandwiches!!), but even though I have never been a milk drinker, I like cheese, milk chocolate and ice cream! Now that I have been aware of that and been watching my dairy (even getting used to dark chocolate now!), I feel so much better.
Since I became aware also of the malabsorption in my pure Kigers and changed their diet, I have been thrilled with the results. Well, except for the fact that Desi is not my nice, laid back stallion anymore! He is turning into a big pain in the butt lately!
Interestingly, the crossbreds do not have those issues.

I love dark chocolate, it isn't as sickeningly sweet as milk chocolate. My husband is type two diabetic so I've been trying to change our diet little by little, (a big horn sheep has nothing on him as far as being hard headed). I brought him from whole milk to two percent and now have him on skim. Now I need to see if I can switch him over to goats and see what happens. I've got him eating sugar free cookies and such and am looking for good recipies for them. He's not used to having a 'health problem' so he's not really looking after it. I have to push him into it.
