8 Bad Pieces of Health Advice You Should Definitely Ignore
Gluten-free foods are healthier
Adopting a gluten-free diet might be the newest health trend but it is not necessarily the healthiest. That’s because “the majority of gluten-free replacement products at the supermarket are made with ultra-processed grains and powders and contain large amounts of stabilizers and gums, which are undoubtedly bad for you,” warns Dr. Vojdani.
In addition, going gluten-free is not recommended to just about anyone. Unless you have to manage a medical condition like celiac disease or nonceliac gluten sensitivity, consuming gluten-free foods may increase the risks for nutritional deficiencies, particularly in B vitamins and iron.
