Many people have cut Gluten out of their diets and starting eating Gluten free food instead. This is because they think that is a much healthier option. We discovered the harsh truth and it may leave you appalled!

The Reality Of Gluten-Free Food Is: 

Gluten-free foods aren’t always as good for you as you think they are, and some contain seven times more fat than standard products. An Asda Chosen by You free-from white loaf contains 12.7g of fat per 100g – seven times that of standard bread. A comparable gluten-free loaf sold at Tesco has three times the fat of a standard loaf.
Research by The Grocer magazine found similar increases in fat and, in some cases, sugar with gluten-free ready meals. Companies are even selling high-price versions of foods such as ketchup, soup and curry sauces as gluten free even when their standard versions contain no gluten anyway.

Nutritionists said consumers often saw “free from” as healthier than standard versions but often they’re not. According to Coeliac UK chief ­executive Sarah Sleet, supermarkets need to eradicate the disparities in their ­own-label lines.” We want them to look at what more can be done to bring down fat and sugar levels in gluten-free ­products,” she said.

Tesco , Sainsbury’s and Asda all say they are committed to making their gluten-free products healthier. ­

Finished!
