I have never been able to understand how a nation seemingly overnight became gluten intolerant. Ohhh. MARKETING!

How about the quality of the dairy, wheat, soy? The degradation of wheat and the pasteurization of dairy? Would it not cause an inflammatory response in the body since its not in its true whole form?

These studies are based on the dairy and wheat we use today. They did not study unpasteurized dairy or wheat that has not been sprayed with glyphosate - just what we use today, so no, this would not make a difference. These theories about why dairy or wheat is inflammatory emerged after the initial theories that suggested they were inflammatory. In other words, a theory to justify a theory. There's a lot of this in the health world.

Processed versions of these foods may or not cause inflammation but can have other effects on the body (ie. digestibility/absorption).

That's a different subject. I'm a big fan of unpasteurized dairy and ancient grains.
