Giving up gluten
It's time to stop swearing off gluten "for health reasons."
"For people that have been diagnosed with celiac disease, gluten is definitely a problem," says Fear. "[But] for the population at large, do they need to avoid gluten? The answer is definitely no. And is it beneficial to avoid gluten? The answer also appears to be no."
In fact, avoiding gluten might have a nutritional cost. Fear said there's evidence that gluten-free diets tend to be lower in fiber and whole grains— two things we know benefit health.
