Humans are incapable of digesting gluten

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Scientific literature directly refutes the claim, demonstrating that the human digestive tract possesses proteases and mechanisms capable of degrading and hydrolyzing gluten.

How claims like this are judged

Judged against fact-checker rulings and reference works: claims of this kind are settled by the fact-checking record, not journal abstracts.
