Abstract
All of a sudden there is this craze about gluten free products. I have a friend in Africa who is allergic to wheat and so avoids wheat products and anything that has wheat in it. Then more recently as I visited the USA and Europe, I come across people who are on gluten free diets, and for no apparent reason. Many of the ones I have talked to just believe gluten is not good for them.
