Jonathan Wolff:对麸质的恐惧被夸大了,许多人对麸质的担忧源于对乳糜泻的误解和对相关研究的曲解。我们需要了解真相,区分乳糜泻、小麦过敏和非乳糜泻性麸质敏感性等不同情况。许多人认为麸质有害,但实际上,对于大多数人来说,麸质本身并非有害物质,问题可能出在高度加工的无麸质食品上。选择无麸质食品时,应注意避免高度加工的食品,因为它们可能缺乏营养,并含有对健康不利的添加剂。 Dr. Will Bulsiewicz:关于麸质,既有科学依据,也有许多误解。麸质是一种存在于某些植物中的蛋白质,有助于食物保持形状。人类使用麸质的历史悠久,它有助于将谷物结合成面包。然而,乳糜泻是一种严重的炎症性疾病,会影响小肠对营养物质的吸收,其唯一治疗方法是严格避免麸质。一些研究引发了对麸质的担忧,但这些研究大多是在动物或试管中进行的,其结果不能直接应用于人类。一些人对含麸质食物的不良反应并非由乳糜泻引起,可能由小麦过敏、非乳糜泻性麸质敏感性或其他因素引起。非乳糜泻性麸质敏感性可能并非由麸质引起,而是由其他成分如果聚糖引起。可以通过食用酸面包来测试是否对果聚糖不耐受。麸质共济失调和疱疹样皮炎是罕见的,大多数情况下与乳糜泻有关。对大多数人来说,麸质并非有害的,一项研究表明,避免麸质可能增加患心脏病的风险,因为这可能导致减少全谷物摄入,从而失去重要的营养物质。选择高质量的食品,无论是含麸质的还是无麸质的,都很重要。应该关注食物整体的营养价值,包括纤维、维生素和多酚等,而不仅仅是麸质含量。

The episode debunks myths about gluten, explaining its role in food and clarifying the difference between celiac disease and gluten intolerance, highlighting the lack of robust evidence suggesting gluten is harmful for most people.

Shownotes Transcript

The last decade saw a rise in gluten-free diets. But the number of us with diagnosed gluten intolerance each year hasn’t changed.

Eliminating gluten is the only treatment for those with celiac disease, but the rest of us could be doing more harm than good by embracing ultra-processed, gluten-free foods. 

In today’s short episode of ZOE Science & Nutrition, Jonathan and Will ask: Should you be worried about gluten?

Studies referenced in the episode: 

  • ‘Health Benefits and Adverse Effects of a Gluten-Free Diet in Non–Celiac Disease Patients’ from Gastroenterol & Hepatology here)

  • ‘The Gluten-Free Diet: Recognizing Fact, Fiction, and Fad’ from The Journal of Pediatrics here)

  • ’Is There Evidence to Support the Claim that a Gluten-Free Diet Should Be Used for Weight Loss?’ from the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics here)
