What The Heck Is Gluten?

Kudarat was created 2 years ago as a solution for a major problem. That “problem” is controversial; it gets people all fired up. Even sweet grandmas might come at you with a sawed-off shotgun or a shovel. My own family has argued with me and called BS. But, it is very real, very serious, and chances are, you are one of the 1 in 7 (probably more—they just haven’t been “recognized” yet) people in the US that have this problem or you’re headed there.

So, what am I talking about? Gluten. Yes, that. NO doubt you’ve been given an incomplete and to be blunt, wrong definition of what gluten is. You’ve also probably read somewhere (everywhere) that you never have to even give it a second thought when it comes to your skincare and other personal products because you’ve been told that gluten proteins are too large to be absorbed by the skin. I’m here to tell you that not only is gluten likely hiding in plain sight in your personal care products, but it is also something you do not want to come into contact with. Ever.

This is the first in what will be a series of articles about this topic. We have to change the paradigms revolving around this subject. I don’t want you to ever have to go through the hell I’ve been through. So, let’s get started.
