I had heard of the Nightline episode #161 about gluten free diets being dangerous so I watched it online. If you watched it too, you were probably angered just like I was. The segment in question spoke of gluten free diets as a potentially dangerous "fad diet" that is very popular now.
Here is a link to the episode.

I found this "response" to that episode online also and thought I would share it here.
This is Dr. Vikki Petersen's thoughts on the use of the word "dangerous" in conjunction with a gluten free diet.
Dr Vikki Petersen is an author, a clinical nutritionist, and a leader in gluten sensitivity diagnosis, research, and treatment.
The only "danger" in a GF diet is the shrinking bottomline of our wheat-ladened culture...
