If It’s Gluten-Free, Is It Paleo?
Not necessarily.
While still a better option that a wheat-based product, foods containing rice, corn or other gluten free grains are still grains, and therefore still contribute negatively towards making our bodies more acidic.
In addition, they also contain anti nutrients (lectins) which prevent us from properly absorbing all the vitamins and minerals in the delicious veggies and fruits we are eating!
Skip the gluten free crackers, cookies and bread, and reach for an apple, some raw walnuts and some water! Once again, EAT FOOD, not things that are actually NOT food!
