Why are native populations more prone to autoimmune disorders and type 1 diabetes? Why do they have a higher incidence of alcoholism and drug addiction? And why the lower life expectancy? The Gluten Free RN is exploring the role of food in health outcomes for indigenous populations around the world. She begins with an explanation of the dietary differences between hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies, discussing how native populations were exposed to the gluten in grains only when European conquerors came to occupy their lands. Nadine shares her challenge in finding information about indigenous populations and celiac disease, explaining why further study is necessary. She speaks to the highly processed nature of the commodity foods provided to Native Americans in the US and the shortcomings of Canada\u2019s Food Guide when it comes to the health of First Nations people. Listen in and learn the significance of educating indigenous populations around celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, empowering those groups to make choices that will improve their health and quality of life! What\u2019s Discussed:  The global indigenous population 370M in 70-plus countries Rich diversity of cultures The health status of indigenous populations Higher incidence of autoimmune disorders, T1D Higher prevalence of addictive disorders, cardiovascular disease Lower life expectancy, increased morbidity\/mortality Why indigenous populations have more health issues Access to health care, isolation and lifestyle Food (hunter-gatherer vs. agricultural society) The lack of information around indigenous populations and celiac disease Very few studies available The impact of grains on the native population Significant change in health care outcomes, quality of life The prevalence of celiac disease in indigenous populations At least 1%, likely 3% or higher No way to know without mass screening Why eating healthy is a challenge for the indigenous population Food scarcity, desserts Reliance on commodity foods provided by government The conclusions of the Prairie Nymph blog on Canada\u2019s Food Guide Based on diet of European origins, doesn\u2019t mention celiac disease Ignores health benefits of traditional diet for First Nations people Why it\u2019s important to educate indigenous people around celiac disease Empower to make food choices with better health outcomes Resources: Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jaren M.
