Its been cited 155 times. Which directly contradicts the pointless, obviously false claim that its been 'suppressed'. Combined with the paranoia about downvote reasons, and I suspect a troll.

The suppression is real, but not in a comic book conspiracy theory sense. Monsanto has been doing disinformation around glyphosate for a very long time, and stirring up controversy and character assassinations around these (admittedly speculative and unconventional) scientists and others. That's all that's needed for more orthodox members of the scientific community to start using words like "quack" and "pseudoscience".

Snopes does a pretty good dissection of this including appropriately putting the research study in proper light: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/wheat-toxic/ As if the getholistichealth.com domain wasn’t enough of a BS smell...

How can you trust snoops their way worse. Is a comet made of ice? check mark false orange bad that is basically what every one of these say.

It has been proven that gluten intolerance/sensitivity does not exist (while celiac disease is very real), so this article seems suspicious from the very first line. There are various studies about that, and even researchers that found some evidence about it, show that there is no such thing in more recent studies (10.1053/j.gastro.2013.04.051).

You're going to call a study with 37 participants proof ?

No, there are various studies, but I picket that one just because is from the very same researchers that got different results previously.
