The gut is getting a lot of attention these days. Some foods contain lectins (of which gluten is one) which can cause leaky gut and leaky gut has been implicated inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, asthma, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia and cancer. The videos in this section discuss this.

About The Name of this Website
I wanted to create a web site where I could keep track of and share some of the interesting health and diet content that I have researched during the past few years. In order to set this up I needed a unique web site and domain name. While pondering this I glanced at a poster that is on a wall in my office. This poster deals with zonulin and tight junctions. Zonulin is a protein that can open tight junctions in the intestine and the blood brain barrier. When these junctions are open you have a leaky gut (and leaky blood brain barrier). As a result pathogens and the like can get into your system which then can cause immune responses including inflammation. This can result in several different health problems. Although this web site is not focused on leaky gut I thought that Zonulin Tight Junction would be a good web site name. The video below goes into this in more detail

This video by Alessio Fasano goes into more detail on gluten, zonulin and leaky gut. A leaky gut results in inflammation and this can cause autoimmune issues such as arthritis, asthma, type 1 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Going on a Paleo Ketogenic diet decreases gut permeability which helps to reduce auto-immune disease symptoms. Dr. Zsofia Clemens
The first part of this video from down under talks about a down under problem. If you are suffering from irregularity you eat more fiber ... right? Here we see Paul Mason debunkng a well known but incorrect medical prescription.
This video gives a good summary on the problems with gluten. I should mention here that when you go low carb you automatically reduce your gluten intake. A lot of the low carb benefits that you see could be due to gluten reduction.
I thought that the book "The Plant Paradox" went a bit overboard on classifying lectins as a real problem. After seeing this discussion by Paul Mason I am having second thoughts.
Dr. William Davis wrote the book Wheat Belly in 2011. It was a best seller within one month. It could be that everyone has some degree of gluten sensitivity.
This Paul Mason presentation on the autoimmune system is sort of scary. It makes you want to go carnivore.
Zoe Harcombe says that although fiber is recommended there is no good evidence that it is necessary.
A good book on fiber is called Fiber Menace by Konstantin Monastyrsky. In this video he seems like someone on late night television who is trying to sell you something but I think a lot of what he says is backed up by the science.
