Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. It can cause people serious health problems, including celiac disease and wheat allergies.* Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms.**
Gaining Popularity
People with allergies to gluten are not the only ones seeking a gluten-free diet. In an article entitled “Gluten-free diets gaining in popularity,” which appeared in USA Today, author Kim Painter suggests that gluten-free products are on the rise in the general population as well. Research, she says, shows that 15-25% of consumers want gluten-free foods, though doctors estimate only about one percent of the population has celiac disease.***
Actually, though only 110,000 Americans have been diagnosed with gluten intolerance, it is estimated that, if everyone who really has it was diagnosed, the number would be three million! People who do not have gluten intolerance can have some sensitivity to gluten, causing symptoms that range from bloating to rashes.***
Even people with no symptoms are leaning towards gluten-free foods, such as fruits and vegetables, because they just feel better when they eat fewer processed foods.
Biotta Juices – Gluten-free
All Biotta vegetables and fruit juices—with the exception our Breakfast Juice—are completely gluten-free. They are completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals, as well as the use of gluten as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent.
Biotta fruit and vegetable juices are 100% organic—grown organically and process in a closed manufacturing environment to retain and preserve valuable nutrients, vitamins and minerals. You can’t buy a fresher juice—and, if you are watching your gluten intake, Biotta juices are a great way to get some of your recommended daily allotment of fruits and veggies.
