Dear All,

Maybe I'm just cynical but I have to keep asking the
question - If we cannot even trust buckwheat (which is
naturally GF and different to wheat) to be GF due to
contamination, can we really believe that specific GF wheat
will be reliably uncontaminated?  Just think how much there
is to be made by mixing ordinary cheap wheat into the "GF"
and how easy it would be to do.  That's the illegal or
Mafia type of risk.  How can we guarantee what your
ordinary farmer will do!  How would the farmer even be able
to guarantee that the seed being used wasn't contaminated
with ordinary wheat seed?

I seriously believe that this would be vastly more
dangerous to Coeliacs than the tiny amounts of gluten left
in WHO Codex Alimentarius purified wheat starch, which
arouses such passion on this list at times, and lead to a
serious risk of increased small bowel lymphoma in anyone
risking the use of the product.

Regards

David
