"Should you go Gluten-Free?" article on Active.com
http://www.active.com/nutrition/Art...tm?cmp=17-1-393
The main problem I have with this article is the insinuation that gluten is somehow an essential nutrient and that it should only be avoided by those who have Celiac or gluten intolerance:
"Field warns that a poorly planned switch to gluten-free can backfire, leading to an inadequate intake of complex carbs, vitamins, and minerals found in runner staples"
and I really love this statement about going gluten-free:
"but a runner who isn't careful could end up eating a lot of refined carbs and added fats, leading to weight gain."
I thought most gluten containing products were refined carbs!
Once again, I remember why I a registered dietician is the last person I would look to for nutritional advice
