May is Celiac Awareness Month
The long wait for federal gluten-free standards may soon be over: In February, the FDA’s gluten-free recommendations,
which defi ne GF foods as containing less than 20 parts per million, fi nally went to the White House for approval.
But given that labels will be voluntary and won’t require manufacturers to reveal gluten ingredients, we’ll still rely on independent agencies, including the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), for guidance. Founded in 1974, GIG programs now include summer camps for gluten-sensi- tive kids and, to celebrate May’s Celiac Awareness Month, a “chef to plate” restaurant and food-service education cam- paign. GIG also sponsors a rigorous gluten-free food label, now found on more than 10,000 products in 15 countries. For more information, visit

Love garlic
Though it’s shunned by those on a fi rst date (and vampires), garlic is worthy of love from the rest of us: Recent research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that garlic’s extract may lower blood pressure.
Australian scientists from The University of Adelaide divided 79 study partici- pants into four groups. Each group took 240 mg, 480 mg, or 960 mg aged garlic per day, or a placebo, for 12 weeks. After the study, researchers found that the 480-mg-dose group had signifi cantly lower blood pressure; some of them experi- enced a whopping 11.8 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure (the force of blood in arteries as your heart beats) compared with the placebo group.
