Gluten: The Surprising Foods That Can Cause Damage

Gluten-free foods can be less healthy due to nutritional deficiencies, higher sugar and fat content, and a lack of variety. According to Dr. Vikki Petersen, gluten-free products often use refined flours that lack essential nutrients like fiber, iron, and B vitamins.

To maintain optimal nutrition, it’s crucial to balance gluten-free alternatives with whole, unprocessed foods. Dr. Petersen recommends consulting with registered dietitians to ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs and making informed choices about healthier gluten-free options.
