The Misconception of Gluten-Free Products

Gluten-free products are often perceived as healthier options, but this is misleading. Many gluten-free alternatives include high levels of refined sugars, starches, and seed oils that may lead to adverse health effects. For instance, the absence of gluten in these foods does not make them nutritious, as they can still contain ingredients that contribute to gut inflammation and other health problems. Overall, gluten-free does not equate to healthier, and individuals should be cautious of the quality of ingredients in these products.
