Is gluten good or bad? That depends on who you are. Some people have a physical condition that makes gluten an enemy for them, such as celiac disease or a wheat allergy. But gluten doesn't scale like, say, sugar, in that we should all restrict our intake lest we develop obesity, diabetes, or cavities. Gluten is fine for most of us. Oh yeah, the bread recipe is here.  -via Laughing Squid
