Hi Everyone,

There was a news release yesterday that Spanish Scientists have developed a 
gluten-free bread that is the same or even better than our wheat 
counterparts!  I've copied the short article and link below!  Also, I wrote 
the university asking the development to market timeframe and when it would 
reach the States.  If I get a reply, I'll post.

This is a GREAT DAY!!!

Warm Regards,

High-quality, gluten-free bread developed
BARCELONA, Spain, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Spanish scientists have developed the 
first high-quality, gluten-free bread for people with celiac disease. 

Researchers at the University of Barcelona's Food Technology Plant Special 
Research Center say the bread has an increased nutritional value, a longer 
useful life and a similar texture to traditional bread. 

Those suffering celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a common protein 
found in cereals such as wheat, rye, barley and possibly oats. Eating 
gluten for such people prevents food absorption in their intestines, 
causing an inflammatory reaction. 

The researchers' goal was to develop gluten-free bread with a similar taste 
and texture to bread made with wheat flour. 

They say they created a 100 percent gluten-free product with a pleasant 
taste and texture and of high quality that can be enjoyed by the general 
population, as well as those with celiac disease.
