reports that experts are warning that gluten-free foods could increase the risk of obesity, “after finding that such products often contain higher levels of fats than the food they aim to replace.” After an analysis comparing 655 conventional food products to 654 gluten-free alternatives across 14 food groups, gluten-free products were found to be more energy-dense than their conventional counterparts. The results of the analysis were presented at the annual meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/may/11/gluten-free-diet-carries-increased-obesity-risk-warn-experts
