Just read about Roundup being commonly used by wheat farmers to "desiccate" the crop before harvest (allowing for earlier harvest). Maybe this whole gluten intolerance thing is actually a Roundup intolerance.

Given that this study is about pesticides, not herbicides, and glyphosate (RoundUp) wasn't one of the chemicals tested, I don't think there's any evidence for that here.
I should have put "off topic" in my comment, but I thought it was obvious since I didn't mention a pesticide or depression. I just thought my comment might be of interest to anyone that would be reading the post.
Monsanto will be dragged into the debate, evidence or not. Some public scrutiny might do them good though.
