The link between gluten and ataxia has only been demonstrated relatively recently, and not all doctors are aware of the potential association between gluten sensitivity or celiac disease and speech and balance and motor control problems. That means it’s vitally important for people with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease to watch out for symptoms like dizziness, loss of balance and difficulty walking, or problems with articulation (pronouncing words) that could indicate the condition is present and to tell their doctors if they believe they’re experiencing any signs of the condition. The opposite is also true, those with unexplained symptoms of ataxia should find out whether they have antibodies to gliadin

ABOUTTHEAUTHOR
Celiac disease has been associated with a host of autoimmune disorders, including conditions that affect the central nervous system. Of these, gluten ataxia is perhaps the one that has been most widely described. Gluten ataxia is a chronic condition that causes prob-lems with balance and gait. It occurs when the antibodies that are produced in response to the ingestion of gluten attack the cerebellum, the portion of the brain located in the back of the skull just above your neck. The cerebellum plays a vital role in controlling movement, helping you coordinate the motions associated with activities like articulat-

gait, posture or speech due

In addition to ataxia, celiac disease has also been associated with a wide range of peripheral neuropathies, or numb-ness, tingling or shooting sensations in the hands and feet – that is, those nerves that exist outside of the spinal cord and brain. Most peripheral nerve symptoms are relatively mild and are confirmed by skin biopsy. A few, however, may cause weakness and sensory loss if left untreated.
Brain “fog” is another common com-plaint among celiac sufferers that may be associated with nerve and brain dysfunction, although no studies have been conducted providing a definitive link. The cerebellum has been implicated in some cognitive and learning process-es, so it’s not unreasonable to assume that the same sort of effect that causes ataxia also contributes to problems with cognition, memory or “clear thinking.” In fact, a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic came to the same conclusion in a study of celiac disease and cognitive decline. Another study published in 2014 found patients with celiac disease who complained of brain fog improved mark-edly when placed on a gluten-free diet.
Being vigilant and talking with your doctor about any unusual symptoms you experience is an integral part of maintaining your health, and so is supporting good nutrition. Since the bowel is already compromised, absorb-ing nutrients from foods becomes much more problematic in patients with celiac disease, yet the body needs optimal nutrition to help it fight the effects of the disease and to function normally. Taking nutritional supplements is an important way to ensure your body isn’t missing out on critical nutrients that may not be readily available in a gluten-free diet. CeliVites were devel-oped using the most bioavailable forms

Got milk?These days, it seems like almost everybody does. Celebrities, athletes, and even political figures have been proud to wear the white “milk mustache” in ads. After all, everyone knows that you need milk to be healthy, right?
Dairy is nature’s perfect food — but only if you’re a calf.
If that sounds shocking to you, it’s because very few people are willing to tell the truth about dairy. In fact, criticizing milk in America is like taking on motherhood, apple pie, or base-ball. But that’s just what I’m doing.
1 6 / F O O D S O L U T I O N S M A G A Z I N E / A P R I L I S S U E
at Harvard’s School of Public Health — is one of the pyramid’s most vocal critics. He’s even called its guidelines “udderly ridiculous.” That’s not something a Har-vard scientist says lightly.
But Dr. Willett is right. The pyramid isn’t based on key scientific findings about health. Just take a look at some of the pyramid’s recommendations — and why I disagree with them.
Flawed Recommendations in the USDA Food Pyramid1. Consume a variety of foods within and among the basic food groups while staying within your body’s energy needs.Sounds sensible — but which food groups? If you choose dairy, meat, fats, and carbohydrates, the “perfect” meal could be a cheeseburger, milkshake, and fries with ketchup (potatoes and tomatoes are the two top vegetables consumed in America). Generic advice like that is pretty meaningless and po-tentially harmful.
2. Control your caloric intake to manage body weight.Again, that sounds good, but as I’ve written before, even the best-trained nutritionists and dietitians can’t come close to correctly estimating their own caloric intake in a day. Also consider this: Is it okay to consume all of your calories from cola or ice cream as long as you stay within my caloric needs? Of course not. So this is more useless advice.
3. Increase intake of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat milk products.Well, fruits, veggies, and whole grains are great. Milk — not so much. I’ll get back to that in a minute.
4. Choose carbohydrates wisely.Who could argue with that? But how do they define “wisely”? The real advice
here should be to cut down sugar intake from 185 pounds per person per year (what we currently consume) to less than a pound, avoid flour products (except as a treat), and stick to whole-food carbo-hydrates like vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds.
5. Choose to prepare food with little salt.That’s not bad advice. But it doesn’t make sense if most of what you eat is packaged or processed foods that you don’t actually prepare. For most Ameri-cans who eat half of their meals outside their homes, this isn’t helpful. A better recommendation would be to avoid packaged, processed, canned, prepared, and fast foods (unless you know exactly how they are made).
6. If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.Sounds good — but if you’re usually drinking two bottles of wine a night, then one seems like moderation! I think a better suggestion is to limit your alcohol consumption to half a drink a day or 3 glasses a week (the amount that seems to have the most health benefit).
7. Don’t eat unsafe foods.Of course you shouldn’t leave your egg salad out in the hot sun or toss your salad with hands that just handled raw chicken coated with salmonella. But the food pyramid guidelines don’t men-tion pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified foods, despite scientific evidence of their harm. Shame on the USDA!
You can see now why I have big prob-lems with the food pyramid! Its guide-lines try to sound sensible — while still protecting the interests of the food industry, the agriculture industry, and all of the lobbyists paying for the elections of the Congress. That way everybody’s happy.
Based on research and my experience practicing medicine, I typically advise most of my patients to avoid dairy products completely. I like ice cream just as much as the next person, but as a scientist I have to look honestly at what we know.
I’m aware that my advice to avoid dairy flies in the face of the “up-to-date” food pyramid from the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA’s pyramid recommends drinking 3 glasses of milk a day. What’s wrong with that? Well, for one thing, it’s not a recommen-dation that’s based on strict science.
Some of the “experts” who helped create the pyramid actually work for the dairy industry, which makes the USDA’s rec-ommendations reflect industry interests, not science or our best interests.

But I’m not, and you shouldn’t be either. The public is not served by this watered down, confusing, and useless pyramid. Worse, some of the recommendations are downright harmful –like the one to drink more milk and dairy products.
The Truth about DairyAccording to Dr. Willett, who has done many studies and extensively reviewed the research on this topic, there are many reasons to pass up milk, including:
1. Milk doesn’t reduce fractures. Contrary to popular belief, eating dairy products has never been shown to reduce fracture risk. In fact, according to the Nurses’ Health Study dairy may increase risk of fractures by 50 percent!
2. Less dairy, better bones. Countries with lowest rates of dairy and calcium consumption (like those in Africa and Asia) have the lowest rates of osteopo-rosis.
3. Calcium isn’t as bone-protective as we thought. Studies of calcium supplemen-tation have shown no benefit in reducing fracture risk. Vitamin D appears to be much more important than calcium in preventing fractures.
4. Calcium may raise cancer risk. Re-search shows that higher intakes of both calcium and dairy products may increase a man’s risk of prostate cancer by 30 to 50 percent. Plus, dairy consumption increases the body’s level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) — a known cancer promoter.
5. Calcium has benefits that dairy doesn’t. Calcium supplements, but not dairy products, may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
6. Not everyone can stomach dairy. About 75 percent of the world’s popu-lation is genetically unable to properly digest milk and other dairy products — a problem called lactose intolerance.
A P R I L I S S U E / F O O D S O L U T I O N S M A G A Z I N E / 1 9
Based on such findings, Dr. Willet has come to some important conclusions:• Everybody needs calcium. But probably not as much as our government’s recom-mended daily allowance (RDA).
• Calcium probably doesn’t prevent broken bones. Few people in this country are likely to reduce their fracture risk by getting more calcium.
• Men may not want to take calcium sup-plements. Supplements of calcium andvitamin D may be reasonable for women.
• Dairy may be unhealthy. Advocating dairy consumption may have negative effects on health.
If all that isn’t enough to swear you off milk, there are a few other scientif-ic findings worth noting. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asked the USDA to look into the scientific basis of the claims made in the “milk mustache” ads. Their panel of scientists stated the truth clearly:• Milk doesn’t benefit sports perfor-mance.
• There’s no evidence that dairy is good for your bones or prevents osteoporosis — in fact, the animal protein it contains may help cause bone loss!
• Dairy is linked to prostate cancer.
• It’s full of saturated fat and is linked to heart disease.
• Dairy causes digestive problems for the 75 percent of people with lactose intolerance.
• Dairy aggravates irritable bowel syndrome.
Simply put, the FTC asked the dairy industry, “Got Proof?” and the answer was NO!
Plus, dairy may contribute to even more health problems, like:• Allergies• Sinus problems• Ear infections• Type 1 diabetes• Chronic constipation• Anemia (in children)
Due to these concerns, many have begun to consider raw milk as an alter-native. But that isn’t really a healthy form of dairy either. While raw, whole, organic milk eliminates concerns like pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and the effects of homogenization and pas-teurization it is my professional opinion that these benefits do not outweigh dairy’s potential risks.
From an evolutionary point of view, milk is a strange food for humans. Until 10,000 years ago we didn’t domesticate animals and weren’t able to drink milk (unless some brave hunter-gather milked a wild tiger or buffalo!).
If you don’t believe that, consider this: The majority of humans naturally stop producing significant amounts of lactase — the enzyme needed to properly metabolize lactose, the sugar in milk — sometime between the ages of two and five. In fact, for most mammals, the normal condition is to stop producing the enzymes needed to properly digest and metabolize milk after they have been weaned.
Our bodies just weren’t made to digest milk on a regular basis. Instead, most scientists agree that it’s better for us to get calcium, potassium, protein, and fats from other food sources, like whole plant foods such as vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds and seaweed.
5 Tips for Dealing with Dairy1 - Don’t rely on dairy for healthy bones. If you want healthy bones, get plenty of exercise and supplement with 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
2 - Get your calcium from food. These include dark green leafy vegetables, ses-ame tahini, sea vegetables, and sardines or salmon with the bones.
3 - Try giving up all dairy. That means eliminate milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream for two weeks and see if you feel better. You should notice improvements with your sinuses, post-nasal drip, head-aches, irritable bowel syndrome, energy, and weight. Then start eating dairy again and see how you feel. If you feel worse, you should try to give it up for life.
4 - If you can tolerate dairy, use only raw, organic dairy products. I suggest focus-ing on fermented products like unsweet-ened yogurt and kefir, occasionally.
5 - If you have to feed your child formula from milk, don’t worry. The milk in infant formula is hydrolyzed or broken down and easier to digest (although it can still cause allergies). Once your child is a year old, switch him or her to real food and almond milk.
Still got milk? I hope not! Remember, dairy is not crucial for good health. I encourage you to go dairy-free and see what it does for you.
To your good health,
Mark Hyman, MD

Dairy products are defined as
products made from the milk of mammals.
Eggs are an an-imal protein,
not dairy at all, even though
they are usually positioned right inside the dairy
case most super-markets.
Certain individuals avoid dairy for gener-al health reasons like those shared in this month’s Check Up with Dr. Hyman article on page 15. For others, dairy is off limits due to a food allergy or intolerance.
According to the Food Allergy and Educa-tion website (www.foodallergy.org), approximately 2.5 percent of all Ameri-can children under three years old are allergic to milk, making milk allergy one of the most common food allergies. With a milk allergy, the body’s immune system is triggered when milk products are consumed. This immune response is caused by milk protein (casein). The subsequent allergic reaction can vary from mild to severe, and can in some cases, be lethal due to anaphylaxis (life-threatening reaction due to compromised breathing and blood flow). Cow’s milk is the usual cause, but milk

from sheep, goats, buffalo and other mammals also can cause a reaction. For individuals with true milk allergy, all dairy products must be avoided.
Unlike a true milk allergy, lactose intolerance does not involve the immune system and is not life-threatening. Lactose intolerance occurs when an individual lacks the enzyme, lactase, which is necessary to break down milk sugar (lactose) for digestion. Lactose intolerant individuals cannot properly digest dairy products and suffer from symptoms like nausea, cramps, gas, bloating and diarrhea when milk products are consumed. Individuals with lactose intolerance can take enzyme tablets or consume dairy products with the lactase enzyme added to them to avoid discomfort when consuming these foods.

Coconut oil is another popular substi-tute for butter and works well in baked goods, as well as in savory dishes where ingredients are sautéed in fat.
In some recipes, such as in cakes or cookies, where butter is called for, cooking oil may be substituted. Use one-third to one-half less oil than butter called for in a recipe. For example, if a cake recipe calls for one cup of butter, you could substitute ½ cup of oil for the butter. This takes some experimenting, as the exact amount will vary with each recipe, but in general beginning with half the amount of oil versus butter works well most of the time.
In baking, unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana often work well as a fat substitute. These will also add moisture to your recipe and in the case of banana, there is the obvious flavor. Use half the amount of fruit puree as fat called for in recipes for cakes, cookies and muffins. Cookies will be less crisp or crunchy and more cake-like unless some fat is added back into the recipe. Fat adds texture, so it is recommended that a small amount of fat is used along with fruit purees in baked goods. For example, if you are substituting one cup of butter in a cake, use one-half cup of applesauce and two tablespoons of oil to enhance the texture of the cake.
Cheese SubstitutesNothing takes the place of the flavor and texture of real cheese, but there are some products on the market that make acceptable cheese substitutes. These products may be made from soy, rice, a variety of starches and even nuts.
Always be sure to read labels carefully for wheat or casein (milk protein) ingredients. For cubed cheese in dishes like caprese salad, try soft tofu. For pizza, give Daiya vegan shreds a try. In place of cream cheese, brands like Daiya, Follow Your Heart and Go Veggie make substitutes.
Yogurt SubstitutesJust like milk products, a variety of cul-tured dairy-free products are hitting the grocery store dairy shelves. Companies like So Delicious make a variety of coco-nut milk based yogurts, including a Greek style yogurt. Soy-based yogurt is also available from companies like Stonyfield and Trader Joe’s.
Frozen DessertsFor other foods such as whipped topping, ice cream and other frozen confections, brands like So Delicious, Coconut Bliss, and Wink make frozen dessert sub-stitutes. In homemade ice cream and whipped topping, canned coconut milk may be substituted for the milk or cream.
N U T R I T I O N
Regardless of the reason for avoiding dairy products, there are a wide range of options for today’s consumer.
Milk SubstitutesA variety of non-dairy milk products are available. These milk substitutes are made from plant-based ingredients such as almonds, cashews, coconut, flax seed, hemp seed, oats, rice, soy beans, sunflower seeds, etc. Much of the time, these plant-based milks contain the base ingredient (i.e., almonds) plus water and other ingredients such as a sweetener and a thickening agent like guar or xanthan gum. Unsweetened varieties of most plant-based milks are available these days. You can also make your own milk substitutes to avoid additives in store-bought varieties.
Most milk substitutes are gluten-free, but be sure to use caution when selecting these products, especially when it comes to oat milk. Make sure the oats used are certified gluten-free. Read all allergen labels carefully.
Butter SubstitutesSeveral non-hydrogenated butter substitutes are available in most grocery stores these days. Brands like Earth Balance, Melt and Spectrum are popular as one-for-one substitutes. These are great choices for spreading on toast or muffins, or anywhere you want the look and taste of real butter.

Kale, collards, broccoli, Brus-

Nappa cabbage – all in the Bras-sicacae family – are the Queens

Why Detox?While occasional detox diets are helpful for a reboot, detox is something we need to support our bodies with every single day, not just a couple of times each year. You see, we are exposed to an unprece-dented number – and crazy combinations – of environmental toxins every single day. The Environmental Working Group has found that newborns already have nearly 300 environmental toxins in their blood at birth. That’s seriously scary!
So you can imagine by the time you hit your 20s and beyond, our bodies have been steeped in environmental chemi-cals!
These chemicals come from herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and artificial ingredients in our foods. They exist as pollutants in our air, water, cosmetics, medications, vaccinations, household cleaners, furnishings, cars – there are literally tens of thousands of them.
Not only that, we create toxic chemicals in our bodies from the process of breaking down the hormones and stress chemicals that our own bodies produce.
N U T R I T I O N
The good news is that your body is amazingly equipped with detoxification systems that have been evolving and improving over millions of years. Most of these are in your liver, but also require that you keep your bowels moving well each day to “take out the garbage” that the liver has processed. Your body has the mechanisms in place to keep you healthy – vibrant, in fact.
The bad news is that never before in the history of humanity have we been exposed to so many different individual and combinations of chemicals at once. You know how you can feel over-whelmed by life sometimes? Well, our bodies are overwhelmed by toxic loads and need some extra daily detox help.
How do I know this? As a Yale-trained MD and an environmental health scientist, one of my key areas of research is women’s and children’s health and environmental toxicity.
Also as a practicing Functional Medicine Physician, I see women and children day in and day out in my clinic who are suffering from health conditions that are associated with environmental chemical
and hormonal detoxification problems including:- Weight problems- Fatigue- Loss of mental concentration and clarity (“brain fog”)- Endometriosis- Thyroid problems- Blood sugar problems- Joint pain- Autoimmune conditions- Uterine fibroids- Cyclic breast pain- Infertility- Early puberty- Allergies- Acne- Eczema
This is the short list!
In my medical practice, where I am able to do blood tests to see how effectively my patients are detoxifying, I find two common threads: many people are low in the natural chemicals they need to effectively detoxify environmental chemicals and hormones, and are overloaded with harmful toxins such as heavy metals, pesticide residues, BPA and more.

of the healthy lifestyle I’ve had for over 3 decades.
Here are my “rules”:• Eat a wide variety of vital natural foods. Not junk. That simple. This way I avoid most of the agricultural and added chemicals that act as toxins in my body.• Eat only organic meats and dairy, and follow the Environmental Working Group Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen.• Use natural household cleaners, cos-metics, and body products. As women we apply more than 15 different products, many with a dozen or more chemicals, before we even leave the house in the morning. There are many fantastic natu-ral cosmetics available to us now. • Avoid unnecessary medications – use diet and natural remedies whenever possible before taking Tylenol, ibuprofen, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments. • Don’t smoke, keep alcohol to a mini-mum (less than 4 drinks/week, prefera-bly red wine), and stress less!
Add in the GoodTo add in the good, all you need to know is which foods and herbs support and enhance your body’s detoxification pathways. And I’m going to make that easy for you with the following Top Ten Detox Hits List.
Simply add in some of these natural detoxifying foods and herbs every day, and if you’re taking out the bad, too, you’ll find that within days to weeks your energy, health, and mood are picking up!
Taking a probiotic and adding fermented foods to your diet is also a detox plus because they help provide the necessary microflora to help you make use of the nutrients in many of the foods and supplements below, especially the flax seeds and leafy greens. Healthy flora is an important ingredient in optimal detoxification.
Simple 2-Step Detox GoalsBut true health, clear thinking, weight loss, and abundant energy are absolutely possible! They can be achieved with the same simple two-step process I share with my patients.
Step 1: Take Out the Bad = Minimize Toxin ExposureStep 2: Add in the Good = Support Natural Detoxification
Not too complicated, right? I like EASY!
And the cool thing is that this is not a “diet.” It is a way of life that makes living easier because you feel better. And hey, we should all try to reduce our use of environmental toxins – it’s good for us and it’s good for the planet.
Take Out the BadI’ve never said this in print before, but honestly, I am almost 50 years old and there’s not a day in my life that goes by that someone doesn’t ask me if I’m 30. I’m not kidding. I have to tell patients I’m older than they think so they take me seriously in my practice! It’s all because

Flax seedsFlax seeds contain lignans, which when broken down by healthy gut flora help you to bind and eliminate toxic by-products with your daily evacuation (magnesi-um citrate can help you get going daily if you’re not!). I recommend 1-2 tablespoons of freshly ground seeds added to your whole grain cereal, morning shake, or on top of your salad daily. Just don’t heat the flaxseeds.
Leafy Green VegetablesKale, collards, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and Nappa cabbage – all in the Brassicacae family – are the Queens of Greens. Consume them abundantly every day in stir fries, steamed, and in the case of broccoli and Brussels sprouts, even baked. Juicing is ok, but I think eating the veggies is optimal. At least 2 cups cooked of one or a combination DAILY. Greens contain a host of naturally occurring chemicals called glucosinolates, which break down into isothiocyanates or ITCs, which bump up the volume on liver detox while giving your gut flora the best nutrition possible (yes, gut flora need good nutrition to flourish, too!). The fiber in them also helps you to have a good daily BM – which not only keeps you feeling peppy, but clears out the environmental crap. EAT GREENS!
BerriesTalk about awesome medicine for the body and deliciousness in life! All the berries are fantastic for you. Blueberries, red raspberries, strawberries (organic for these please!) and blackberries are my top go-to choices. Looking for a healthy detox snack or dessert? Try my favorite (simple!) berries and choco-late dessert on page 27.
PomegranatePomegranate has 3 times the antioxidant effects of green tea and red wine. It improves detoxification in the liver and helps keep cholesterol and blood sugar balanced. Take 2 ounces of unsweetened pomegranate juice concentrate in 8 ounc-es of still or sparkling water daily for a lovely natural “spritzer” that is safe even for diabetics because it reduces insulin resistance!
Olive OilOlive oil, taken in amounts of 2-4 tablespoons daily, will not increase your weight and will improve your cho-lesterol, and will decrease isoprostanes, nasty little inflammatory chemicals that your body makes. Rich in naturally healthy phenols, olive oil gives a power boost to your body’s production of naturally occurring detox chemicals like glutathione. Olive oil, like the other foods and herbs listed here, can also help mitigate damage to your DNA because they create chemicals that scav-enge free radicals, harmful little inflammatory forms of oxygen that get loose in our bodies as a result of toxins and detox problems.

Dark ChocolateOk, I wouldn’t be The Wom-en’s Doctor if I didn’t include dark chocolate. But I’m not including it just to make you like me! Dark chocolate really is good for you. In addition to improving mood and keeping blood pressure and cholesterol in check, dark chocolate is a detox plus in your daily diet. Yes, you can eat a couple of ounces of dark chocolate every day – as long as it’s 72% dark or higher.
TurmericA spice that has been used in Indian cooking for thou-sands of years, this bright yellow herb has become fa-mous for its ability to sup-port our natural detoxifica-tion processes. And rightly so! Curcumin, the most medicinally active part of the plant, helps the body slow its roll on breaking down toxic chemicals long enough for the body to be able to do it effectively and efficiently without causing you to build up what are called toxic intermediates when the two phases of liver detoxification are out of sync. It also boosts up your body’s natural anti-in-flammatory production. It’s one of the herbs I use most in my practice, at a dose of 1000-2000 mg of curcumin extract daily. You can also use it in cooking or in your favorite shake, 2-10 grams of the powdered spice per day.
Green teaGreen tea boosts liver detoxification, helping you to break down and get rid of toxins while acting as an antioxidant, putting out the fires of inflammation around your body. It can be taken as a tea, but in extract form it is a potent supplement for weight loss, hormonal balance, and detox. A typical daily dose is about 200 mg of green tea catechins, or 4-8 cups of green tea. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, this amount might cause you some side effects including insomnia and heart palpi-tations – if you experience those, try something differ-ent instead.
ResveratrolComes from grapes, berries, and is found in red wine; has antioxidant effects that help with detoxification, im-proves detox in the liver and is also anti-inflammatory, which helps with everything from joint pain to menstrual cramps. You can get it from your diet by eating plenty of fresh berries, and you can take a supplement contain-ing 10-25 mg of resveratrol daily.
Artichoke leaf extractSupports liver detoxification and acts as an antioxidant, while increasing the amount and availability of natural detoxification chemicals produced in your body, especially in your liver. A typical dose is 320-640 mg artichoke leaf extract three times daily.

In addition, dark chocolate is reported to:• Reduce “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and improve “good” (HDL) cholesterol• Slow digestion (helps prevent overeating)• Increase metabolism (helps the body burn calories more efficiently)
But what if you’re dairy-free? Can you still enjoy the health benefits (and great taste!) of indulgent-tasting dark choco-late? Yes!
Not all chocolate contains dairy.
While typical grocery store chocolate bars or chocolate-covered candy confections do contain dairy in the list of ingredients, many pure, high-quality dark chocolates do not. Dairy is not an essential ingredient in chocolate making.
Chocolate begins with cacao beans, which are naturally free from gluten, dairy and other allergens.
To make chocolate, cacao nibs inside the bean are removed and ground into what is called cocoa mass, nothing else is added at this point. Next, the cocoa mass is transformed into chocolate liquor, a still pure, unsweetened product. Cocoa butter, a smooth, creamy fat (no butter is included, this is still a pure product) is also created in addition to cocoa solids, which is the part of chocolate that is not cocoa butter (i.e., the non-fat portion of chocolate, which you may see listed as cocoa powder, cocoa, cacao).
It is at this point that other ingredients may be added to the thus far pure choco-
late in order to produce what most of us think of when we think of chocolate.
Sometimes, only a bit of sugar is added to create a dark bittersweet chocolate or a semi-sweet chocolate product. Emulsifiers are also sometimes added to help the chocolate retain its uniformity for storage. That may be sunflower or soy lecithin. At this point, the chocolate would still be gluten and dairy free. Beyond this, additional ingredients may be added to create milk chocolate, other flavors of chocolate, etc. and those will often contain dairy ingredients (as well as other allergens, depending upon manufacturing and varieties).
So, in order to reap the health benefits of dark chocolate, first, locate a product that is at least 70% cacao. Usually, this is listed right on the front of the product package. Common percentages on main-stream brands are 70%, 72%, 86% and 90% cacao. Next, read the ingredients list to be sure the product you are consider-ing is free from gluten, dairy and other ingredients and allergens you must avoid.
Finally, check the allergen statement on the product packaging to determine if the product is made on shared equip-ment with allergens such as wheat, dairy, or nuts. Often times, this is the case and depending upon an individual’s specific allergies, this issue of cross-con-tamination can make the chocolate off-limits for some. Companies are required to list any risk of cross-contact with the top eight food allergens in an allergen or a “contains” statement near the ingredients list on foods.
Most of us have heard about the
research confirm-ing that chocolate
with 70% or great-er cocoa solids
contains powerful antioxidant com-pounds that have
anti-inflammatory and cell-protective
properties.

Chocolate and cinnamon make a dynamic duo in this indulgent cake that is completely grain-free!
F O O D
A P R I L I S S U E / F O O D S O L U T I O N S M A G A Z I N E / 6 3
DIRECTIONSPreheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 2 sticks butter, 4 Tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup water, then boil.
Mix in sugar, cassava flour, cinnamon and baking soda, then stir.
Add eggs, buttermilk and vanilla then stir until batter is smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes until cake tests done (when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).
Remove cake from oven and prepare the frosting by combining 1 stick butter, 4 Tablespoons cocoa in a saucepan and heating until butter is melted.
Add confectioners’ sugar, buttermilk and vanilla and stir until smooth.
Pour frosting over hot cake. No need to spread the frosting, just tilt the pan to cover entire top of cake.
NOTES:• The original recipe from Otto’s Cassava Flour recommends using a jelly roll pan for baking the cake, but I used a 9×13-inch pan. If you use a jelly roll pan, your cake will be thinner and will cook in less time (about 25 minutes).• When I poured the frosting over the hot cake, I cut the cake into squares so that the frosting would soak into the cake. Either way, this is delicious!• This cake freezes wonderfully.• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or dairy-free vanilla “ice cream”).
ChocolateCinnamon Cake
INGREDIENTSFor the cake:• 2 sticks butter (or equivalent dairy-free butter substitute)• 4 Tablespoons cocoa powder• 1 cup water• 2 cups sugar• 2 cups Otto’s Cassava flour• 2 Tablespoons cinnamon (don’t skimp on the cinnamon!)• 2 teaspoons baking soda• 2 eggs• ½ cup buttermilk• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Frosting:• 1 stick butter (or equivalent dairy- free butter substitute)• 4 Tablespoons cocoa• 1 pound confectioners’ sugar (use corn-free for a grain-free cake)• 6 Tablespoons buttermilk (or this dairy-free buttermilk substitute)• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Using a grain-free flour like Otto’s Cassava Flour is the perfect solution for those individuals who need a grain-free flour.

There may be a link between the gluten in your diet and the following symptoms if you have a genetic predisposition to gluten-intolerance or celiac disease:• “brain fog”• anxiety• depression• dementia
• autism• and even schizophrenia!
Many people have reported “brain fog” and anxiety as symptomatic of ingesting gluten. And did you know that depression is a classic symptom celiac disease? The Mayo Clinic reports that individuals with celiac disease are at increased risk for dementia and there is ongoing research into the link between diet and autism and
schizophrenia. Clearly, this is more than mere hearsay.
Depression is definitely present in a higher percentage of individuals with celiac disease than in the normal population, as evidenced by Italian research studies dating from 2003 and beyond.
All of this information may cause you to ask which came first? Are people depressed as a result of their diagnosis, or is the disease itself the cause of the depression?

Eating Gluten May Cause Depression: The Research PerspectiveEating gluten if you have celiac disease (whether you have been formally diagnosed or not) seems to have an impact not only on physical, as well as mental, health. There may be two reasons for this:
1 - Malabsorption Individuals with celiac disease who consume gluten (i.e., prior to diag-nosis when they do not know they must live gluten-free OR in those who “cheat” on their gluten-free diet OR when gluten is accidentally ingested) fail to absorb tryptophan, which leads to a decrease in production of sero-tonin (the ‘feel-good’ brain chemical). This increases the risk of having a mood disorder. Eating gluten when you have celiac disease also means you may be deficient in other vitamins and nutrients, again, due to malab-sorption. Untreated, celiac disease can even lead to malnutrition due to deficiencies in compounds like vitamin B6, vitamin C, folic acid and zinc, all of which are required in the production of serotonin from tryptophan.
2 – CytokinesCytokines are a type of signaling molecule of the immune system and are implicated as a contributing factor for mood disorders such as depression (from Biopsychiatry, 2003).
Remember, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease; a condition that compromises the immune system, which would in turn, lead to the release of chemicals (like cytokines) in the body as the body’s way of attempting to fight the disease.
cal, neuroendocrine, neuroimmune, and behavioral changes (Kronfol and Remick, American Journal of Psychiatry, 2000). Cytokine activation is also known to enhance the hypothalamus-pituitary-ad-renal axis hyperactivity, another body system that is associated with major depression. (Maes and Smith Psy-chomeuroendocrinology, 1995).
Thus, any of the above mechanisms could be operative in untreated celiac disease, and could in turn cause disturbances in brain serotonin function, predisposing the patient to mood and behavioral disorders. (Psychosomatics, 2002).
Maes and Smith (Perspectives in De-pression, 1999) proposed that excessive cytokine secretion due to chronic immune system activation is a fundamental pa-thology underlying depressive symptoms.
Cytokines as such cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, but growing evidence suggests that specific cytokines may signal the brain to produce neurochemi-

Being Diagnosed with Celiac Disease May Cause Depression: The Personal PerspectiveOf course, in addition to the biochemi-cal underpinnings of an autoimmune disease, there is also the personal aspect. Having a lifelong condition that requires a major lifestyle change is highly likely to trigger depression – whether the condition is celiac disease
or another disorder. This happens in some individuals because of the feelings of restriction, sadness over missing favorite foods and due to the social aspect of feeling left out or unable to be a part of the individuals “typical” social functions.
What is the Solution?The easy answer is, of course, to avoid gluten, though as we all know, this isn’t

Eating gluten if you have celiac disease (whether you have been formally diagnosed or not) impacts physical and mental health.
always so easy. Of course, for those diagnosed with celiac disease, it is a 100% must!
Once you’ve eliminated gluten from your diet, then your nutrition should improve. Eating a healthy diet consist-ing of real food – not junk food that happens to be gluten-free – will help.
Here are some naturally gluten-free foods that contain essential nutrients that you should incorporate into your daily meals:• Meat, fish, beans and lentils for tryptophan• Avocados, bananas, raisins, currants and sultanas, sunflower seeds and soya for vitamin B6• A wide range of fruit and vegetables for vitamin C• Leafy green vegetables, avocados, oranges, almonds and walnuts for folic acid• Zinc can be found in peanuts, cheese, figs, nuts and seeds, and small amounts in green and yellow fruit and vegetables
Eat something from each group above and you ought to be producing some serotonin, and feeling a lot better. Plus, of course, removing gluten from your diet will also remove the immune reaction if you have celiac disease, which again, will have you feeling better soon, with a much improved mood!
