Soy sauce does more than just add flavor to a succulent pork dumpling or a piece of sashimi. It may actually affect your body negatively—especially if you eat soy sauce often and are not using a reduced-sodium option.
Gluten, a protein in wheat, barley and rye, has been on the receiving end of a lot of dietary flak recently. As awareness about gluten sensitivity and intolerance rises, so do questions about what these conditions are and whether you might have them.
Gluten—a combination of proteins found in wheat, rye and/or barley flour—gives structure and elasticity to baked goods. When you remove gluten, the support needed to lift and lighten the treats during baking is missing. The results can be dense, gummy or crumbly. The best gluten-free (GF) baked goods are made with a blend of GF flours, starches and often natural “gums,” such as xanthan gum, to replicate a traditional texture.
