Punishment By Laurie Drake" which was published in the February magazine and
I have to disagree with those on the list who thought the article was
positive. Allure and Laurie Drake owe the Celiac community an apology for
this highly offensive and uninformed article. The way Drake associates
celiacs with people on the latest fad diets is equivalent to associating
diabetics with people who are following the latest low carbohydrate fad diet.
If allure had done that to diabetics, they would probably be sued. <snip>
* You make an interesting point here- but unlike the diet for Celaic Sprue-
no gluten,the diet for diabetes has more variables and there is no "one diet"
that seems to work for all diabetics. So many people have failed on the
recommended diet, and some are finding a dramatic change in their ability to
control their diabetes by following a low carb diet. Yet, for others, it
does not work. I have never seen so many varations on dietary plans to
control the same disease! I wish it were that easy! BTW, has anyone else
read this article? Is there an online site to read this article? I'm
curious now......
