Do you try to avoid gluten?
When you think about it, every food product is free of something these days (or even many things!), whether it’s gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, or sugar-free … you get the point. It’s crucial to remember that a “healthy” product isn’t just determined by what is not in it … it’s so much more important to check out what IS in it! Eating gluten-free may feel best for you, but…
Not All Gluten-Free Foods Are Created Equal
Once you start reading ingredient labels (and get over the disgust of what’s in some of the things you may have been consuming), you realize how life changing it can be to take back control and make informed food choices.
If you can’t pronounce it, and can’t trace where it came from, don’t eat it. – Common sense
Gluten-free foods can still be full of conventionally-grown GMO ingredients, refined sugars, seed oils, modified starches, factory-farmed industrial animal products, toxic preservatives, msg, and more.
Choose gluten-free foods that are made with Kind, whole ingredients.
Can you pronounce and understand the ingredients in your gluten-free bread? Not all bread is created equal.
Are there seed oils in the product?
How much (and what kind of) sugar is used in your gluten-free cookies?
Are the oats in that product free of glyphosate? (These are!)
Read labels, get informed, and support the companies that are making Kind, whole-ingredient gluten-free products that support your wellness and happiness. All you have to do is use your Empathy Economics questions … or you can ask us! We will always do our best to support the solutions when we present the “problems”!
