I just recieved this in the trivia section of a recipe newsletter:

>DEPRESSION may increase a woman's risk for broken bones,

I wonder if they ever checked to see if the bone loss and depression were
related to Celiac Disease?

I was depressed for several years 'til I found out what was wrong with me.

Just a thought...
