They really didn't have a point except that people (I don't know what people) had the idea that they would lose weight on a gluten-free diet when, in fact, many of those packaged GF products contain a considerable amount of added sugar, salt and fat.
So, their point is that gluten has a taste to it? I find that amusing. Gluten-free packaged foods have a different texture because of the types of flours that are used, so that could be perceived as a taste variant. But, if the GF companies are putting more fat, salt and sugar in their products, then consumers need to be aware of it.
The truth is that most of us have become sensitive to gluten because of the GMO wheat that has been grown in the U.S. since the Clinton Administration. We become sensitized to those items that we eat in excess....dairy, citrus, peanuts, soy, corn, gluten and so on. Look at the label on any packaged product you buy...soy is at the top of the list; anything containing wheat, contains gluten. There are other grains/products/foods that contain gluten...the internet is a great resource for that information.
We have developed symptoms that are associated with that sensitivity to gluten...bloating, gas, bowel problems, allergies, inability to digest certain foods....all gastrointestinal symptoms that are relieved by cutting out gluten. Many people do lose weight resulting from water retention because of the inflammation in their GI tract.
I recommend people cut out gluten to help eliminate inflammation and its associated symptoms. I also recommend that people not eat prepackaged or processed foods...eat fresh vegetables and fruits, cut out the foods to which you are sensitive and don't eat gluten, whenever possible. That way, you aren't getting added trans-fats, salt or sugar in your diet and you will be better able to lose weight that way and live a healthier life.
