ABC of nutrition G - K

A healthy diet implies, at its best, the consumption of organically grown products, like fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish and wholegrain products. However, some recommended foods may contain ingredients that do not have a beneficial effect on people’s health. One of those is gluten, which can be found in wholegrain cereals.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, spelt and oats, which is often contaminated because it is usually grown alongside wheat. Gluten can be found everywhere around us, in most products – pizza, pasta, spirulina, industrial food, even in lipsticks. So, how can we avoid it?
