7. Gluten-Free Junk Food

gluten-free-flour-wood-tools

To clarify, when I say “junk food” I mean things like chips, cookies, and pastries.Gluten allergies and intolerances are common, so it makes sense to try and seek out gluten-free alternatives. Just don’t mistake “gluten-free” for “healthy.”

Any “(insert term here)-free” junk food is going to have the same problem: highly refined, devoid of nutrients, and loaded with added sugar.

For those with gluten intolerances, gluten-free junk food has the added bonus of often being made with starches, like potato starch, that easily spike blood sugar. You’re much better off staying away and taking advantage of naturally gluten-free goodies like fruits, vegetables and dairy.
