    Gluten-Free Market Statistics

    According to the attached article, the Gluten-Free market is becoming mainstream moving from a niche market to one where gluten-free foods can be found in mainstream supermarkets.  This is a trend that we have seen over the years and will continue to see as the market continues to grow.

    Gluten-free foods are no longer only for people with celiac disease, food allergies, food intolerances, autism and other medical conditions.  More and more people who want to follow a healthy lifestyle are eliminating gluten from their diets at least part of the time.

    The Gluten-Free market in the US reached approximately $2.6 BILLION dollars in 2010, with a 30% growth rate, and is expected to reach $6 BILLION dollars  in sales by 2015.  So voice your opinion!  Ask your local retailers to sell your favorite gluten-free goodies – including GILBERT’S GOURMET GOODIES!

    Gross Food Facts

    I heard some gross food facts today.  First, as many of you know, all of the food dyes that they put into our food are FDA approved even though they are known carcinogens.   Some doctors think they are linked to food allergies, behavioral issues, autism and other diseases.  I have a friend whose child had ADD like symptoms until she removed all of the products with food dyes from his diet.  He is now a brilliant child with perfectly normal behavior.

    Another gross fact relates to those “cream-filled” packaged treats that are available and which many of us grew up on.  You know the ones I mean, the chocolate cupcakes (Hostess I think?), Twinkies and similar “baked goods” that are filled with preservatives.  Well, the “cream” in them has NO cream in it.  It is made from lard and beef fat!  That’s disgusting!

    You probably also know that manufacturers must list the ingredients on their labels starting with the highest amount down to the least amount.  The first 5 ingredients generally tell you what is in the majority of the product.
