In this episode of Revolution Health Radio (RHR) we discuss “RHR: Could Gluten-Free Diets Be Harmful?" As the gluten-free diet has grown in popularity, research scientists have started to focus on it as well. A few studies have indicated possible drawbacks to the gluten-free diet, including lower beneficial gut bacteria and increased arsenic levels. Find out why I maintain that a gluten-free diet can be perfectly healthy—as long as you know what types of foods to avoid. 

In this episode, we cover:

Correlation does not equal causation
The problem with confounding factors
Rice flour lacks fermentable fiber
Fiber intake on Paleo-type diets
How the media is guilty of oversimplification
Why rice flour can also lead to higher arsenic levels
Reducing intake of refined flours of any kind is key
