Peter Green

"Recently ABC News had a piece on Domino's Pizza presenting a supposedly gluten-free item. This is not a product suitable for those with celiac disease and highlights the need for strict regulation of gluten-free foods. Apparently, Domino's Pizza received advice from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) on how to present this product. This also highlights the need for regulation at a government level rather than the food industry turning to lay groups. During this presentation, Dr. Peter Green was highlighted discussing the limitations of a gluten-free diet. This piece was a segment from an interview taken one year earlier and not related to discussion of the current "gluten-free" pizza issue. Last night, Dr. Peter Green and nutritionist Suzanne Simpson from the Celiac Disease Center here in New York City appeared on Fox 5 News. While I feel the timing of the email statement and then the video is a little bit strange and delayed, it is nice to get some feedback from a usually quiet research center. For some reason I can't view the last 30 seconds of the video, but it is interesting to see this topic discussed so close to home. Read More
