Is gluten-free wrecking your health?
The hidden toxins in “healthy” foods

Good morning friends,
For years, gluten-free has been marketed as the ultimate fix.
Better digestion, clearer skin, less bloating.

But here’s the twist: research shows many gluten-free products may actually be wrecking your health.
The shocking test results
A recent investigation by Moms Across America tested 46 top gluten-free products—pastas, flours, breads.
The result?
44 out of 46 were contaminated with glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer and gut dysbiosis.
Over half contained residues of chemicals originally designed as wartime poisons—now repurposed as “crop protectants.”
So while you’re ditching bread to feel better, those gluten-free alternatives could be loading your gut with toxins worse than the gluten ever did.
Why this matters for your gut
Glyphosate doesn’t just contaminate food—it can:
• Disrupt your microbiome balance, encouraging harmful bacteria to thrive
• Damage intestinal lining, worsening leaky gut symptoms
• Increase inflammation, raising long-term risk of autoimmune and chronic disease
It’s no wonder many people feel worse on store-bought gluten-free foods.
So what’s the solution?
This doesn’t mean you have to go back to highly processed white bread. But it does mean being smarter about your swaps:
Choose organic grains whenever possible—fewer chemical residues
If gluten triggers you, try sourdough made traditionally—the fermentation breaks down much of the gluten and supports gut health
For baking, look for cassava, coconut, or almond flours from trusted organic brands
Prioritise whole foods over packaged goods—because labels lie, but your gut never does
The bigger picture
Humans have eaten bread for thousands of years.
The problem isn’t wheat—it’s how modern crops are grown, processed, and sprayed.

Gluten-free isn’t always the “safe” option.
Sometimes it’s a chemical trap dressed up as health.
