Don't start a gluten-free diet before hearing this
This conversation explores the implications of gluten-free diets, particularly in relation to kidney health. Jill Harris discusses how gluten-free diets often lead to the overconsumption of high-oxalate foods, such as almond flour, which can increase the risk of kidney stones. The discussion also highlights the importance of reading nutrition labels, as many gluten-free products contain high levels of sodium and sugar, which can further exacerbate kidney stone risks. The conversation emphasizes that a gluten-free diet does not automatically equate to a healthy diet and encourages listeners to be mindful of their food choices.
