In one session, the partners waited five minutes before the kiss, and in the other, they drank 4 ounces of water before kissing. In both situations, researchers found that the gluten transfer, which was measured in the saliva of the partner with celiac disease, was minimal in the majority of participants.</p><p>Although gluten was still found in saliva after kissing a partner who had consumed gluten and then had a glass of water, in all cases the amount was less than 20 parts per million, the level allowed in gluten-free products, which is considered safe."</p><p><a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eurekalert.org/news-releases/1</span><span class="invisible">082120</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>health</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/gluten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gluten</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/celiac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>celiac</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/CeliacDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CeliacDisease</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/kissing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kissing</span></a></p>
