Tag: Vegan and gluten free

Over 100,000 participants in a 2017 study found no association between long-term dietary gluten consumption and heart disease for non-celiac individuals. The premise of 'why can't vegans eat gluten' is fundamentally flawed, as gluten is a plant-based protein perfectly acceptable on a vegan diet, unless a separate health condition necessitates its avoidance.

Over 75% of commercially available gluten-free breads contain animal products like eggs or dairy to improve texture and structure. For this reason, vegans cannot simply assume that all gluten-free bread is safe to eat and must carefully examine the ingredients list. Navigating the dual dietary restrictions of being both vegan and gluten-free requires a keen eye for labels and an understanding of common non-vegan additives found in bread recipes.
