<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone! This morning I received a response to my Zonulin summary (posted on 12/16/05). Here's Dr. Fasano's response to my question: The real reason why zonulin is there to open the tight junction is to defend us against infections and other noxious attacks in the intestine. It is by mistake of evolution that gluten activates the zonulin system. Thank you Dr. Fasano!
