德國總理梅克爾或許是西方在烏克蘭危機中的實際領導人,她在歐盟擁有準霸主地位,並且在民調中擁有無可撼動的支持率。但梅克爾領導的政黨在最近漢堡的選舉中遭遇“重創”,如今已失去德國十大城市中的任何一個政權。梅克爾稱這一結果“令人痛心”,但她本人也難辭其咎,因為她的政黨在地方和區域層面的疲軟。 http://econ.st/1FOMci8

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, may be the West’s de facto leader in the Ukraine crisis, a quasi-hegemon in the European Union and unassailably popular in opinion polls. But after her party received a "hammering" in a recent election in Hamburg, it now runs none of Germany’s ten largest cities. Mrs Merkel called the result “bitter”, but she must carry much blame for the party’s local and regional weakness http://econ.st/1FOMci8

Gluten-Free Foods

For people suffering from celiac disease — an autoimmune condition — going gluten-free is not a choice, but a health must. The autoimmune condition causes people to have an immune reaction to gluten, a protein found in many grains like wheat, barely and rye, which leads to inflammation in the small intestine and prevents sufferers from absorbing certain nutrients.
Yet gluten-free diets have become trendy, even among those with no allergy to the protein, thanks to celebrities like Victoria Beckhman and Miley Cyrus swearing off gluten and claiming to feel healthier and fitter for it.

But “the bottom line is you only need gluten-free if you have been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease,” says Booking. “It is estimated that only about 1 in 100 Americans have celiac disease and 1 in 7 may have gluten sensitivity.”
Booking notes that many gluten-free foods are now marketed to the general public as health foods — even though some processed gluten-free products are made with significant amounts of added sugar, saturated fat and preservatives. “Since I do not have gluten issues, I do not eat gluten-free foods. The majority of Americans do not have these problems,” she says. “Don’t be fooled into thinking that gluten-free is healthier if you don’t have gluten problems.”
