BUT - after you are gluten free for 5 years, your mortality rate falls to the normal person. So, yep - yay! That message needs to go to those who think they can cheat plus - how about those folks who don't know they have it or those who don't want to know so they don't get tested. You were smart!
ReplyDeleteYep, five years! So no cheating - and hopefully no accidental cross contamination (which will be, understandably, my biggest fear!)
