I also think the Gluten Free fad is nonsense if you aren't the 1% that are genuinely gluten intolerant.
That's a good point, the increase is small.

However, it's safe to say that people who are eating gluten free diets are typically eating lower carbohydrate diets. I found it interesting that gluten played an important role in preventing diabetes.
