As someone with mild gluten intolerance, I find that with bread and pasta a slow overnight sourdough ferment makes these foods edible. Perhaps the LAB and non- S. cerevisiae yeast can metabolize proteins other than gluten that might be the route cause of my issue. (Can't be gluten as sourdough rises, and I tested by adding gluten flour to bread). I've heard other people with an intolerance finding sourdough digestible.
I found that page while down a rabbit hole on puritan naming traditions (his father's name was "increase" lol) but it turns out he's one of the most interesting and morally conflicting characters in early US history. Really got the ball rolling on adoption of vaccination (against a huge tide of public objection by people who were like "ew that's gross I will not snort cowpox scabs"). But was also instrumental in the Salem witch trials??
Apparently the anti-vax propagandists of the time were physicians that practiced variolation who were afraid that Jenner’s vaccine would put them out of business. They weren’t even arguing that it was dangerous - cowpox inoculation is a lot safer than variolation - but rather that it was unnatural and would turn you into a cow or something. I wonder if smallpox would have gone extinct on its own if variolation hadn’t been practiced since it sometimes causes smallpox and at some point like with the oral polio vaccine it may have become the main source of new infections. I wonder the same about pox parties. If only everybody isolated instead of spreading their germs for immunity even if in the safest context possible.

Yeah, me too. I eat very low carb generally and mainly avoid wheat as it makes me pregnant, but I can tolerate small amounts of sourdough bread.
Glyphosate is used to desiccate wheat at the end of harvest. It increases the shikimic acid content which is used in the production of tamiflu.
