It seems that everyone is going gluten-free nowadays in a bid to lose weight and get “healthy” by jumping on the latest popular diet. But, just because food is gluten-free doesn’t necessarily mean that it is good for you. In fact, according to The Telegraph, if you aren’t actually suffering from celiac disease and decide to eat gluten-free food on a regular basis, you could be doing serious damage to your health.
Eating gluten-free means excluding all food that contains grains from your diet – meaning no wheat, barley or rye, and no bread or pasta. Gwyneth Paltrow claims that cutting out gluten has boosted her health and helped her maintain a fantastic figure; meanwhile, Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic says that it helped him get the World No. 1 title, as reported by The Telegraph.
Gluten-free foods are often packed full of other additives to make them either have the same texture or same taste as food that does contain gluten. However, this could be raising the risk of obesity, diabetes and malnutrition, according to an expert from Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Norelle Reilly.
Dr. Reilly’s message is alarming considering the number of people jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon and expecting to get healthier. In reality, gluten-free products are often loaded with fat and sugar while being lacking in vital nutrients.
