The Myth of Big, Bad Gluten...
IMHO it's not a myth as wheat is mostly GMO now - farmers aren't even allowed to grow their own seed from last year - he mentioned 'We’re more sensitive to pollens' - what like GMO rapeseed etc???
Food has been fiddled with to make it last longer.
The natural enzymes (which make food rot) are removed with no regard that they're key factors in digestion to absorb nutrients.
rant over.... J 
more "food" for thought.....
So apart from the modern wheat varietals, our own pestilence shaping our genome and a sugary, greasy Western diet causing inflammatory, there is another reason described by Mark Starr author of Hypothyroidism Type 2.
Years ago the weak died from disease. Now we escape the rigours of survival of the fittest but unfortunately in a much weakened state.
This is because in a diseased body the mitochondria are decreased and the DNA suffers progressive damage which results in further genetic mutations. These mutations are cumulative so each subsequent generation has a genetic make up that is weakened and therefore more predisposed to disease, than the previous.
And so the reason it appears that we have people more prone to disease, intolerances and allergies is because they actually are.

Well, seeing as eating wheat makes me throw up and keeps me chained to a toilet for a few hours, I'll carry on giving it a miss, whatever the NY Times says.
