A recent study published in Plant Foods for Human Nutrition reveals that gluten-free products often contain less protein and more sugar than gluten-containing alternatives. This undermines the perceived health advantages of gluten-free diets, which are often associated with better weight control and diabetes management. The analysis indicates that many gluten-free options lack essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, leading to potential long-term health issues such as increased BMI and nutritional deficiencies. While certain gluten-free products, like seeded bread, can be improved nutrient-wise, overall, finding nutritionally balanced options remains a challenge.
Gluten-free products often have less protein and more sugar, contradicting health claims, suggesting consumers are misled about their benefits.
