Does wheat and gluten cause cellulite? My take...

I have a little "newfound wisdom" to impart.

Look at those people you know who eat like that and check their skin. It's probably pasty and dehydrated. No fresh veg. No fresh fruit. Not enough water. It all equals NO GLOW. It's not rocket science and yes, it's hard. You have to eat to nourish or you may be thin, but you'll look awful. Y...
