Gwyneth Paltrow: Carb-Free Kids
To her credit, Gwyneth Paltrow writes in her book "It's All Good" that she eliminated carbs from Apple and Moses' diet because, "Every single nutritionist, doctor and health-conscious person I have ever come across … seems to concur that (gluten) is tough on the system and many of us are at best tolerant of it and at worst allergic to it."
