Low carbohydrates are attractive, but now it's gluten-free in the USA.
When we are casually walking through the passage of an American grocery store, gluten-free letters are written on products everywhere. The gluten-free market continues to grow over the last ten years, including gluten-free chocolate brownie mix, beer, whole grain bread and so on.
Wondering here. Is really gluten so bad for your body? Should anyone avoid gluten for health?
Gluten originating from the Latin glue is a kind of protein produced from cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and the like. And the term gluten refers to what is made up of two types of proteins intertwined, glutenin and glucagon. Gluten is sticky, stretchable if it is bread, it plays an important role in keeping the inflated state, and it is often used as a thickener other than food. For example, it is also used for hair styling gel and toothpaste.
Some people respond sensitively to gluten because of digestive problems as well as there are people who do not accept lactose and drink milk, their belly grueling or getting sick. There are various controversies about this cause, but most people who respond sensitively to gluten seem to have celiac disease in many cases (It is not necessarily sensitive to gluten allergic to wheat, Some people become wheat allergies regardless of it is not necessarily sensitive to gluten ).
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease triggered by immune reactions to gluten contained in wheat, rye, wheat, etc., triggers inflammation of the small intestine and prevents absorption of nutrients. This may cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcer, bowel cancer, anemia, fatigue, bone and joint pain, and in some cases, it can kill you.
In the United States and the UK about 1 percent. It seems that it is said that 4 to 5 times people are diagnosed with celiac disease compared with the middle of the 20th century.
As these cases of celiac disease are on the rise, it is natural flow for food companies to sell many gluten free foods. However, many doctors seem to think that there is no meaning to become gluten-free if you are not celiac disease.
In fact, according to the article published by Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
The reason for consumers to purchase gluten-free foods is that the gluten-free one is said to be healthier, but ... proves the health promotion effect for people who are not the celiac disease ... There is no research presentation to be done.
Rather, there are cases in which gluten avoidance is not considered to be justified by some people because there are nutrients that are beneficial to health for ingredients contained in gluten itself.
Also, Arthur Agatston stated, as many gluten-free foods contain saturated fats, sugar, and sodium as much as junk food, it affects blood sugar levels as well as white rice and potato starch and triggers an addictive trigger, Arthur recommend that there is an effect on the body if there are things that can happen. In addition, the research also warns that continuing a gluten-free diet may cause the deficiency of iron, folic acid, vitamin B 1, calcium, vitamin B 12 and zinc.
In February 2014 the New York Times reported that gluten-free products are more expensive than gluten-containing products, so in 2013 they are above $ 10 billion (about 10 trillion). In addition, 11% of American households have purchased gluten-free products, which seems to have been up by 5% in 2013 compared to 2010. Many people may have been danced in the food expenses industry....
However, since gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are on the rise worldwide, it is convenient to easily purchase gluten-free foods. It is recommended for those who do not accept gluten constitutively because it seems that tennis player Djokovic switched to gluten-free meals, so that they could win the game. But it may be nonsense to take a troublesome expensive gluten-free food life because it is popular and celebrities are gluten-free diet.
If you are gluten - free life, people who are seriously considering a gluten - free life seriously do not judge themselves as good as they are feeling somewhat good, it may be better to consult a doctor.
