“Men turn to pleasure when they are tired of seeking happiness. Hedonism is a drug to the senses, but it is never enough to silence restless soul, as it lacks depth. Its a whirlwind, the deeper you sink, the further you fall away from happiness. Pleasures of the flesh will always be inferior to those of the soul. Still, they are pleasures nonetheless, but nothing more.” — (via mayhemproject)

Celiac disease culprits found -
Researchers discovered gluten was an environmental cause of celiac disease 60 years ago.
“In the years since, the holy grail in celiac disease research has been to identify the toxic peptide components of gluten, and that’s what we’ve done,” Anderson said. “It changes the way that we understand celiac disease.”
In the study, 244 people with celiac disease in Australia and the United Kingdom ate bread, rye muffins or boiled barley over three days. About a week later, blood samples were taken to measure the strength of their immune responses.
The findings could be used to develop a treatment, known as peptide-based immunotherapy. It involves injecting people with celiac disease with the toxic peptides to gradually build up their tolerance.
It would be a “miracle” if people with celiac disease could stop worrying about accidentally eating gluten, said Geraldine Georgeou, a dietitian on the board of Australia’s Gut Foundation. “That could be quite a way off unfortunately,” said Georgeou, who has celiac disease herself.
