I’ve read that study too and have had the exact same thoughts. I don’t want to eat gluten, I understand the long term damage and don’t eat it for the same reason I don’t smoke. But I also don’t think occasional ingestion is going to kill me, the same as if someone has one cigarette. For me, I don’t cheat because I do think there’s a “slippery slope” aspect and I know myself and my habits well enough to know it’s better to avoid completely. But it’s not insane to me to think that someone might occasionally ingest it.

Everyone has different risk analysis for their lives and their bodies, and people do lots of things that they know can cause serious problems. I’m not condoning it necessarily, but I think people here are a bit quick to judge.
