Probiotics Are Useless, GMOs Are Fine, and Gluten Is Necessary

"Probiotics are useless" is a three-word clickbait summary for a literature review that showed probiotics have no benefits beyond increasing gut flora diversity in healthy adults. Conclusion: healthy people are healthy, probiotics appear to be indifferent to this process at worst. Probiotics are, however, clinically beneficial to those who do not fall into the ever-transient "healthy" moniker, such as those with IDB, Celiac and other autoimmune conditions affecting the digestive system [1].

"Gluten is necessary" is a three-word clickbait summary for an article about how unless you have a wheat allergy, Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, eliminating wheat from your diet is net negative because the fortification of wheat contains vital nutrients. Goes on to say eating rice could lead to arsenic poisoning. Tell that to Asia. This speaks specifically to people who replace fortified wheat with unfortified rice in their diet, and the reason it is net negative is specifically the fortification issue.

"GMOs are fine" is a summary of an article that demonstrates there is little science to back claims that GMOs are not fine. The article then argues this should preclude GMOs from having to be labelled as such. If people want to avoid GMOs, why would you deliberately hinder that? I am not sure something being "fine" precludes it from labelling. GMO wheat increased the gliadin content of wheat, which is the antigen that people with Celiac react to. So GMO != fine universally speaking.
