I wanted to get you guys some information on some of the questions that were asked last night. I am doing research on the question about Gluten and will put together something on that. In the mean time, here is the article that talked about eating sprouts when you are pregnant: http://www.webmd.com/baby/features/foods-to-avoid-when-youre-pregnant Basically it says that there is a bacteria that can get into the sprouts that may be harmful for a pregnant woman to consume. If you cook the sprouts there is no danger. When you are pregnant, your immune system is weaker and that is why there is no risk to non-pregnant persons.
Anyways, I hope that was helpful to someone. I don't know how much of a danger there really is, but if you are pregnant just be aware and maybe talk to your doctor.

Thanks so much Samantha. I have been searching for an answer to my gluten question for so long and the truth is, no one really knows. I have done lots of research myself and have found evidence that gluten is bad/unhealthy for the average person. Maybe I'm wrong though. I just think if it's the protein from the wheat it should be good for me right? Maybe it's the process of separating it... I don't know, but thanks for your help. Good to know that you are a dietitian. Fun job. You could probably answer a lot of my questions.
