Why Gluten-Free?

We all know that gluten-free is the latest food trend but is it just a trend or is it really something we need to be more health conscious about? We will give you the full details.

From an article from our friends at Full-Circle Foods we learn:
A gluten-free diet excludes the protein gluten, found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. A 100% gluten-free lifestyle is considered absolutely necessary for people with gluten intolerance, also known as Celiac Disease, because they suffer an immune reaction every time they eat foods containing gluten; if they continue to consume foods containing gluten, studies have shown their chance of gastrointestinal cancer may be elevated 40 to 100 times compared to the general population.

So whether you have celiac disease or are just looking to be healthier, the ultimate decision to go gluten-free is yours.
