It seems like lately everything/everyone in the health world
has had something to say about gluten free foods/diets. Having a gluten free
diet is not really something new, people who have Celiac Disease have had to follow
this diet to avoid getting sick. Those who suffer from celiac disease cannot
absorb parts of food due to the damage it causes in the small intestine. This
happens when they eat wheat, barley and rye.
For many there is no choice but to keep this diet, to others it
is just an option to saying healthy or the new fad diet. The big news in this
area is that now companies who label there foods as gluten free actually have
to prove there is little to no gluten in the food. Previously anyone could just
put that “Gluten Free” claim on food labels without proving it, clearly making
people sick in the process. I am glad people are actually taking food and
health seriously now; I know nutrition is one of the newer health fields but I
feel it is just as important as the others.
Live Healthy, Nadia
