I'm obsessed with wheat gluten even though I know gluten is considered unhealthy even amongst those without celiac disease because it can have a gut inflammatory effect. But i can't help it. I find that i've grown accustomed to its taste. I grew up on a traditional Chinese diet so meat was seldom and now I can barely tolerate the taste and texture of real meat. So wheat gluten is a life send because it makes me feel full due to the high protein content but without the super dry meaty taste/texture.

Though i'm starting to get worried, the more I hear how gluten can have cancer and age promoting effects. I do notice that after going low carb and relying heavily on seitan, my thinking has started to fog and my skin is losing elasticity. I'm not sure if this is all in my head though. Any reassurance out there about wheat gluten is much appreciated.
