That’s stupid. It’s like saying “humans have been smoking for thousands of years and suddenly in the last century it causes cancer.”
Gluten has always been bad. It has always led to sugar imbalances and the diseases which result from them (diabetes) and gluten is a protein that passes through the blood-brain barrier. Some people have more sensitivity that others for nearly EVERY common thing we have like strawberries or peanuts.
Denying a thing because you don’t understand it is ignorance. You likely better understand the relationship between smoking and cancer so that’s no longer nonsense. People are increasingly showing sensitivity to gluten (for simplicity wheat). We have an increase in allergies and sensitivities for lots more than we’ve ever seen before. More kids with deadly peanut allergies than ever before.
And when you learn that humans CANNOT eat wheat in the same way termites cannot eat wood, then you will understand the reason some people have a harder time with gluten than others. The secret is in the saliva. Humans have, to varying degrees, an enzyme which acts on grains to enable digestion. Without it or too little, it’s a problem. Apes can’t eat wheat or other grains. They don’t have the enzyme.

That ridiculous meme is roughly the same as this:
