Gluten-free ice cream

Some people may have intestinal inflammation as a result of the protein gluten, which is found in grains including barley, wheat, and rye. Never believe that anything is healthy just because it includes the suffix "-free". In some cases, the gluten-free has more calories because you are adding more sugar", says Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at UPMC Center for Sports Medicine in Pittsburgh.

Ice cream without gluten is a clear example. First of all, being gluten-free does not exclude the existence of gluten protein. Second, even ice cream made without gluten might contain a lot of sugar. Remember that products that claim to be free of anything, whether fat, sugar, or gluten, frequently have additional ingredients added to make them more palatable. So, the next time you have ice cream that is gluten-free, limit yourself to one serving.
