I'm not sure where you heard that, but wheat gluten isn't generally considered to be harmful. You may have this misconception because many product labels specify whether the package contains gluten or not, much like products advertise whether they carry trans fats in them, which are known to be bad. The reason for the gluten label, however, is for patients with Allergies to gluten or a medical condition known as celiac sprue.
Just for comparison, phenylalanine is another chemical that is often listed on food labels. This it to inform patients with phenylketonuria, who cannot process this amino acid.

addition:
Gluten do not belong in the "original" human diet as we used to be hunter/foragers. Our intestines do not tolerate gluten as well as other foods. They may even cause an increased permeability of the intestines

Correction. Celiac is NOT an"allergy". It's an autoimmune disease.
Only if you are allergic to it, or if it was the only food you ever ate. Wheat contains many important vitamins and minerals as well as protein and carbohydrates to give you energy. Whole grain foods can be a part of any healthy, varied diet when consumed in moderation, the same as most other foods.
They are not bad for you. They are good for you, a part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Corn, wheat, and bad politics
Shredded Wheat can't go bad but it can go soggy once been open too long (due to moisture getting inside the box) and wont taste very nice.
no. bad idea.
Bread is fine for hens, but whole wheat is much better.
You may mean to ask about "whole wheat bread" and a "weight reduction diet." However, no single food is "bad" for a diet. It is the amount of food eaten relative to the activity (calories burned) by the dieter that is significant.
bread crusts are good for you because they contain more wheat than the bread itself how could they be bad for you?
Gluten is bad, mmk?
wheat, wheat, wheat, wheat, wheat and wheat
They can throw up or have a really, really, bad rash
Yes, Glutton is in wheat products and is not harmful or bad unless you are allergic to it....
