Customarily prohibited are gluttony and the overuse of intoxicants. Although there are few absolute prohibitions against meat, very often such teachings do appear in the form of suggestions and examples. Christ and Buddha were both known for their extensive fasting.

Type 2, Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes The current explosion of Type 2 diabetes among our young people points to an indirect result of our culture's gluten gluttony. Loading the diet with so much carbohydrate (dominated by cereal grains) leads to down-regulation of cellular insulin receptors. This chronic carbohydrate consumption and, hence, elevated blood sugar, have to cause excessive insulin production, along with a tendency to overproduce the pro-inflammatory, pro-cancer, pro-allergy, pro-cardiovascular disease, metabolism inhibiting prostaglandin E2 series.
