De hecho, <strong>El nombre \u00abgluten\u00bb proviene de esta propiedad similar al pegamento.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Esta red pegajosa es la que le da elasticidad a la masa, permite que el pan suba al hornearse y le da esa textura masticable tan familiar. Las dos prote\u00ednas principales de esta familia se llaman glutenina y gliadina. <strong>Se cree que la gliadina es responsable de la mayor\u00eda de los efectos negativos para la salud.<\/strong><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><em>La mayor\u00eda<\/em> Las personas pueden tolerar el gluten sin problemas.
