Humans are incapable of digesting gluten
Scientific literature directly refutes the claim, demonstrating that the human digestive tract possesses proteases and mechanisms capable of degrading and hydrolyzing gluten.
Judged against fact-checker rulings and reference works: claims of this kind are settled by the fact-checking record, not journal abstracts.
