    “Glutton-free products.”

    Once again AMCostaRica gives us a great example of why it’s important to check the spelling of articles before they are published for the world to see.

    Unfortunately I cannot work out how to upload the photograph of the article.

    [url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/glutton]A glutton is:[/url]

    1. A person who eats or consumes immoderate amounts of food and drink.
    2. A person with an inordinate capacity to receive or withstand something: a glutton for punishment.

    “Glutton-free products.”

    [url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gluten]Gluten is:[/url]

    1. The mixture of proteins, including gliadins and glutelins, found in wheat grains, which are not soluble in water and which give wheat dough its elastic texture.
    2. Any of the prolamins found in cereal grains, especially the prolamins in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats, that cause digestive disorders such as celiac disease.

    It’s kind of funny though.

    That is funny!

    You didn’t include the link so I’ll go take a look.

    This typo is even more amusing now that I’ve read the article…

    Having said that I’ve probably made more than my fair share of typo’s …

    In Spanish glutton is [i]glotón[/i]
    In Spanish gluten is [i]gluten[/i]

    How funny that I should get this ad from Mother Earth News on the same day that I see your post.

    i’ve been reading a lot about Glutton-free diets (jajaja) and while i do not presumably have any gluten intolerance or celiac disease, i can attest to the weight loss from not eating bread for more than a month. there is a book out called Wheat Belly — i haven’t read it, but it is about weight gain around the middle that is directly attributable to consuming wheat products. i didn’t stop eating bread for any particular reason, mostly just because i didn’t have time to make any (i don’t ever buy commercial bread!), and then i noticed the pounds sliding off so i just didn’t eat any even when i baked bread for my husband. judging by the way my jeans fit, i would say i lost between 3 and 5 pounds — JUST from not eating bread!
