A few years ago, you probably didn't even know that the stuff that gives bread its chewy texture had a name. Gluten is naturally found in wheat, barley and rye, and humans have been eating it for about 10,000 years, maybe longer. Nevertheless, in recent years gluten has become the latest nutritional boogeyman. Here are 3 myths about gluten.

The Insider - "A Difficult Subject"

Transcript:

You’ve probably heard a lot about gluten in the news. It’s the stuff that makes bread chewy, a protein formed by two chemicals, glutenin and gliadin. Humans have been eating it for at least 10,000 years, and it’s one of the most heavily consumed proteins on Earth. Recently gluten has become the latest nutritional boogeyman. Anti-gluten evangelists claim it causes everything from obesity to cancer. Medical and nutritional experts take a dim view of many of those claims. Here are 3 of the biggest gluten myths they’re trying to debunk.

1. Lots of People Are Gluten-intolerant

Actually, it's only a small number. About 1% of the U.S. population has celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that injures the small intestine and prevents patients from absorbing other nutrients from food when they ingest gluten. It can cause awful side effects, from gastrointestinal distress and chronic fatigue to anemia. Additionally, another 6% of the American public may have a controversial condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Even for some people with NCGS, gluten may not be the real problem. In a 2013 study, researchers found that when excluding a broad class of nutrients called FODMAPS − which includes everything from fructose to bananas and asparagus – from NCGS patients’ diets, they stopped having gastrointestinal distress, even when they ate gluten.

2. To Avoid Gluten, You Need to Buy Special Food

OK, so maybe you need to stay away from gluten because of celiac disease or NCGS. Or maybe you're just convinced that gluten is bad for you. Companies that manufacture gluten-free foods can’t wait to meet – and overcharge - you. A bag of gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, for example, may cost close to five times as much as the regular kind. But you don't need to buy a $13 bag of cookies or a $6 loaf of bread to avoid gluten. A lot of foods naturally don't have any gluten in them, including fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, fish, nuts, milk, most cheeses and yogurt, herbs, spices, and oils, butter, margarines, rice, certain cereals, and corn tortillas.

3. It's Possible to Live Completely Gluten-free

Eating a 100% gluten-free diet may be theoretically possible, but according to National Foundation for Celiac Awareness president Alice Bast "in reality, it's nearly an impossible feat.” The FDA actually allows products to be labeled gluten-free, even if they contain up to 20 parts per million. Further, the FDA doesn't actually require food manufacturers to test their finished products for gluten content. The FDA reassures people with celiac disease that all this probably doesn't put them at too much risk, since research shows that most of them can tolerate extremely small amounts of gluten. But for those who believe that gluten is an intolerable poison that must be avoided in any amount, the reality is going to be difficult to swallow.

What do you think? Are people exaggerating the dangers of gluten, or ignoring a very real danger? Let me know in the comments below, and for more info, check out our article 10 Myths About Gluten at HowStuffWorks.com.

* How much do you think about how much your food thinks? Some animals that frequently appear on our dinner plates and in our delicacies are smart. Probably smarter than your pets. Maybe smarter than you?
* Like pigs. In the wild, pigs live in long-term, matriarchal social groups and can distinguish each individual pig they know. They can recognize individual humans, too. And in research labs, pigs have proved themselves to be quick on the uptake. A study from Cambridge showed that when given a mirror, pigs will investigate it and check themselves out in it, and can later remember how mirrors work well enough to use one to find food that’s otherwise hidden from their view. That shows impressive awareness and spatial recognition. And a study from Pennsylvania State University demonstrated that pigs can play simple videogames by gripping joysticks with their snouts – all with the same proficiency as chimpanzees and other non-human apes. Pigs can even be trained to herd groups of another very smart animal that we eat: sheep.
* Sheep show off their smarts way more as individuals than when they're following their flock. They can test as intelligent as rodents, monkeys, and - in some aspects - even humans. A sheep can recognize people, respond when you call its name, react to nuances of human facial expressions, and create a mental map of its surroundings. And you might wanna cut back on derogatory references like “sheeple”: They also show signs of being able to formulate plans.
* [Cephalopods:] Invertebrate sea creatures like octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish are difficult to compare to your Fido, Schnookems, or Colonel Flufferbutt because they evolved under such different circumstances. These cephalopods have both central and peripheral nervous systems: Their head brain works together with individual arm-and-tentacle brains, meaning each limb can act and react completely independently. But despite that, scientists can draw some comparisons to land mammals. For example, baby squid learn via trial and error, like baby humans do. And octopuses can take objects apart, navigate mazes, and play – which demonstrates imagination. Octopuses are considered to be one of the only group of creatures that’s self-aware, right up there with apes, dolphins, elephants, and crows. And speaking of our feathered friends:
* Pigeons! Also known to meat eaters as “squab,” and to New Yorkers as “rats with wings.” But pigeons are so smart that they can be taught abstract concepts about numbers. At a university in New Zealand, they learned to count shapes and rank groups of shapes according to the number of items each contained. In this task, they performed as well as rhesus monkeys. Beyond math, pigeons can recognize individual people who've been hostile toward them and avoid them in the future. They can also recognize _themselves_ in prerecorded videos.
* A footnote, here, both from me and from a bunch of the researchers I mentioned in this episode: None of this is meant to make you feel bad about eating meat if eating meat otherwise makes you feel happy and healthy. But when you can, support farms and programs that help give food animals a good quality of life.

Most wine bottles are green. Is it because they're pretty? Or do they protect the booze juice inside somehow?

Have you ever been taking out your recycling and you look at all those wine bottles in the bin and ask yourself, "Wait... why are these all green?"

Well the simple answer is that green glass is the most common packaging format for wine bottles. Some of them are clear, amber or even blue... but for the most part they're green. But why?

In 2008 the Waste and Resources Action Program charity published a report trying to reduce the volume of wasteful packaging in the United Kingdom. And they found some interesting data on wine, glass and ultraviolet light.

Exposure to short wavelength, ultraviolet light can elicit color changes in wine and have negative effects on its stability. Turns out it causes a chemical reaction, that forms sulphurous compounds.

"Light struck" is actually the term for the unpleasant flavor and aromas created by this reaction. It can occur within minutes and even a tiny amount of these compounds can make your wine taste like hobo box-juice.

Stay close to me now, as it turns out that certain kinds of glass can block this UV light so it doesn't turn wine into fermented Yoohoo. Winemakers have known this for several centuries before we even discovered electromagnetic radiation. So, they've traditionally stored the adult beverage in opaque containers until the bottles go up on a retailer's shelves.

And while the weight and thickness of a bottle's glass only offers minor protection for your “grape juice plus,” the color of the bottle allows different wavelengths of light to be transmitted or filtered.

So, it follows, then, that wine bottles must be green because they’re the best at protecting wine from the UV spectrum. Right?

Actually, no... they're traditionally green because that color has been the cheapest and easiest to produce in large quantities, while still being aesthetically appealing. Turns out that amber glass is actually the best protection against light, blocking more than 90% of harmful exposure. Green glass on the other hand only blocks 30-50% of the harmful light, while clear glass is the worst, only affording 10% protection.

But hey, since there haven't been a ton of customer complaints about wine in transparent containers, winemakers are probably going to stick with the ever popular green.

Just a heads up though that its not just sunlight that's a problem. Fluorescent lights in a store can ruin wine too. Some companies try to mitigate this by using filters, or adding UV-screening coatings to the bottles. But if you really want your wine to taste the way it’s meant to, maybe drink it from an amber bottle.

Horizon: Do You See What I See
When we describe something as red or blue or yellow, we take it for granted that other people will understand and know what we mean. But how can we be sure that our experiences of colour are the same? Is colour merely a creation of our brains? Is the colourful world we see the physical or real world at all? Or is it about perception and affected by the language we speak, the age we are or even our nationality? In this programme, Horizon finds out what colour really means to us, whether there is hope for the colour blind and if we could even extend human vision.

Horizon - Eat, Fast And Live Longer

Michael Mosley has set himself a truly ambitious goal: he wants to live longer, stay younger and lose weight. But he wants to make as few changes to his life as possible along the way. And he thinks he's found the answer - the ancient idea of fasting. Could the powerful new science behind this idea lead to a longer, healthier life? Michael thinks he's found a way of fasting that still allows him to enjoy his food. It sounds too good to be true. So Michael decides to take a road trip across the US to investigate how a little hunger can make you younger - and of course - to try out some of this new science for himself.

Lilly Pulitzer's pastel patterns were born out out necessity, when she launched her very first business running a juice stand in Palm Beach, Florida, in the 1960s. Lilly's clothes would be covered in fruit stains after a day at the stand, so she designed a smart, brightly printed dress to cover up the stains. The dress was a hit, and Lilly’s playful pastel prints quickly took off, soon worn by none other than the first lady on the cover of Life Magazine.

Lilly’s beautiful patterns are timeless classics and, in this episode of Collaborators, see how the Pulitzer brand is the ultimate party, and everyone is invited.

Sit down with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi at his NYC studio as he revisits major life moments and shares the influences that shaped his career.

In 1986, when the young designer launched his first line, Isaac and a team of seamstresses made the clothes by hand — a time-intensive process which necessitated big price tags. However, Isaac wanted to be able to reach a larger audience. So he made a cultural commitment to figure out how to design less expensive clothes that could be “as resonant and important as the very expensive clothes.”

As Isaac says: “Design is anything we say it is, from moment to moment. There really is nothing that separates high and low.”

Phillip Lim started his career with a simple mission: make clothes for people like him and his friends. "Young professionals who want the best, at prices they could actually afford," Lim says. “Early goals when we started 3.1 Phillip Lim? We didn't have goals. We just wanted to exist. We wanted to have that freedom and that liberty to make clothes that we desired, personally."

Sit down with Lim at his flagship store in Soho for a look at the inspiration behind some of his most famous collections, including the NYFW SS17 "Midnight at the Victorian Rodeo," a mash up of Victorian-era British style and 1950s American-country aesthetics.
