Overcoming this *common* perception should be the main activist goal of us
celiacs.  There was a reference in a past CSA newsletter to a random gluten
antibody study done in Iceland.  Of the 200 blue-blooded Icelandics tested,
15 had a postive test.  That is 7.5% of the population!!  That ain't rare in
my book.  What we need is for more antibody screening.  Are there other
studies like the Icelandic one being done?
