A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes the protein gluten. Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and a cross between wheat and rye called triticale.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A gluten-free diet is essential for managing signs and symptoms of celiac disease and other medical conditions associated with gluten.<\/p>\n

A new research report launched by safe food has revealed a number of misperceptions of the health benefits of gluten-free products.<\/p>\n

The new figures reveal that 75% of gluten-free snack foods were high in fat and 69% high in sugar, with calorie levels similar to a standard chocolate bar. <\/u><\/p>\n

The findings showed that more than 1 in 7 people across the world considered a gluten-free diet a healthy way to lose weight, with 17% of people thinking gluten-free products are lower in fat than foods that contain gluten and a further 17% thinking they contained less sugar.<\/p>\n

The research included an analysis of the nutritional content of 67 gluten-free snack foods, including nut products and savoury snacks, cereal and baked products, and confectionery.<\/p>\n

Of course, for people who have a diagnosis of coeliac disease or those with a gluten-related disorder, avoiding gluten in their daily diet is an absolute must.<\/p>\n

However, there is no consistent evidence that a gluten-free diet will improve your health if you aren’t sensitive to gluten.<\/p>\n

Yet, we know from our survey that over 90% of people buying these products do not have a gluten-related disorder or have not been diagnosed with coeliac disease and therefore have no medical reason to avoid gluten in their diet.<\/p>\n

A majority of gluten-free snack products have an unhealthy nutritional profile for everyone, whether or not they have a gluten-related disorder.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
