A new study reported by Nutrition Data suggests that Celiac disease is four times more common today than it was even fifty years ago. That’s an extraordinary finding. And lest we think that this is simply due to an uptick in awareness and diagnosis, the researchers disproved this with a very interesting approach. They tested stored blood samples taken from American soldiers in the 1950s. Only one in every 700 samples contained the antibody that signals celiac disease. Today, about one in 170 people test positive for the antibody.
