Davison defends herself again after gluten-comments furore
Rosanna Davison says her message was miscommunicated when she was reported to have linked gluten to arthritis, schizophrenia and autism in an interview.
It was reported that the 31-year-old said that following a strict gluten-free diet helped her husband relieve "rheumatoid arthritis pain" in his knuckles and knees, and that gluten plays a role in other medical conditions such as “autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia”.
The remarks provoked a huge storm of controversy and the former Miss World was criticised by many people including health professionals.
In an interview with Anton Savage on Today FM this morning the model and author of "Eat Yourself Beautiful" says there is no proper evidence to prove or disprove the claims.
And she said she has been very hurt by some of the commentary about her interview.
"I don't want to play a victim here, but I do feel my message was miscommunicated in the article.
"I do appreciate why the reaction happened as it did," she said. "If I was the parent of an autistic child, I would have been horrified to read what was written.
"I want to make clear that it wasn't my quote and it doesn’t reflect my views. I'm in no position to prove or disprove anything. I'm trained as a nutritional therapist. I'm not a doctor, or a dietician."
