re: What foods or other substances do you avoid for health reasons?

I don't preach gluten-free to anybody IRL. Hell, I left it out of my OP because I barely think about it anymore.

On the other hand, I see people all the time with psoriasis, early arthritis, and metabolic syndrome who would never consider going gluten-free because it would "negatively impact their quality of life".

Its not for everybody, but there are a lot of people suffering with conditions that would be greatly improved or eliminated by eating consciously, and avoiding inflammatory foods.
