    World's Longest Apple Tart Promotes Apples, Celiac Disease Awareness

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 01/13/2012 - In an event that was part local apple festival, part celiac disease awareness promotion, and one-hundred percent record-breaking bake-off, a team of community members in Buenos Aires has baked the world's longest apple tart. One third of the 984-foot tart was made gluten-free to promote celiac disease awareness.

    Enthusiastic volunteers removed sections of the tart from numerous bakery trucks parked along Rivadavia Avenue, the world's longest avenue.

    They then assembled them end to end, making sure to keep the gluten-free portions carefully separated from the rest of the tart.

    This is the third year in a row that the tart-baking group, which is based in from Cinco Saltos, Argentina, has organized the tart bake-off.

    Another goal of the event, say event organizers, is to draw attention to their local apples, which they call the most delicious apples in the world.

    Says organizer Maricarmen Garcia, "It is the longest tart in the world but this time on the longest avenue in the world. We are happy to bring the tart here to the people of Buenos Aires for them to try. It is exquisite. It is homemade and we are promoting that we have the best apples in the world."      

    About twenty-four thousand people helped to consume the tart.

    Too close for comfort -- cross contamination is treated as an afterthought in this "separate 1/3 gluten-free pie".

    The following is a post by Donald D. Kasarda that was written to Michael Coupland of Kellogg (Cereal Company).
    Dear Michael,
    I have been asked to comment on your reply to Bev Lewis about the absence of gluten (or the barley equivalent) in malt flavoring. I am a cereal chemist who is sometimes asked for advice in regard to the gluten proteins as they relate to celiac disease by celiac patient organizations. I have provided advice to Kellogg in the past in regard to safe processing of a rice cereal (Kenmei) in order to avoid contamination. Kenmei has since been discontinued by the company.
    While it is possible that the malt flavoring you refer to is free of all harmful peptides, your statement that because the flavoring is a water wash of malt, it is free of gluten...

    Cases of celiac disease have quadrupled in the past 60 years, according to recent research. As the number of people diagnosed with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity continues to rise, so, too, does the of celebrities who avoid gluten due to celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity.
    It's not just major athletes, like tennis stars Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, for whom sporting success requires peak conditioning and efficient nutritional uptake.

    Celiac.com 12/07/2012 - In a recent interview with S.Z. Berg, singer/guitarist Allie Moss, who is best known for her single "Corner," discusses being diagnosed with gluten sensitivity, and adjusting her diet habits to regain her health.
    For Moss, her journey to the diagnosis began a few years back when she was diagnosed with acid reflux. She did not suffer from classic acid reflux symptoms, like heartburn. However, she did notice that she felt bloated and unhealthy even though she ate a fairly healthy diet. Her doctor had prescribed medication, and sent her on her way. However, Moss began to feel that the prescription was causing more problems than it was solving.
    Seeking an answer that would provide her some relief, she went to see a holistic doctor of nutrition. After considering...

    Celiac.com 05/02/2014 - Depending on who is making the calculations, the market for gluten-free foods has either peaked, or will continue to rise over the next five years.
    According to Packaged Facts, the gluten-free (gluten-free) market has peaked. And in the past two years, it has failed to attract new users.
    Symphony IRI reports that growth rates of key label claims — organic, natural, and gluten-free — are leveling off.
    In the Executive briefing "What's In Store for Health & Wellness?" sales growth rates of products featuring several high-profile claims slowed in 2012.
    NPD reports that gluten free growth remains small. About 28 percent of adults 18 and older reported they are avoiding gluten, a scant one-percent increase since 2010.
