There's no fattening ingredient in gluten of which dropping will instantly make you drop a jeans size: it's simply a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and their by-products. So those going gluten free because they've read a misinformed health article in a magazine, or seen Kim Kardashian bragging about the benefits... Just. Stop. Why? "Gluten Free" is becoming less and less associated with Celiac Disease.

The good thing about these non-Celiac gluten warriors is the prominence of GF goods. The gluten free market had a 44% growth from 2011 to 2013, due to the diet being perceived as healthier, and hopefully because of growth in Celiac awareness.
