Two days ago, there was an announcement a landmark study had found that a gluten free diet could improve your overall wellbeing, with reduced fatigue and incresed energy levels.

Sounds too good to be true, isn´t it?!

Right, be careful! Although it was stated that new research on this topic was released, this research is not published in any (peer-reviewed) medical journal yet, there´s not even a press release to be found (e.g. from the institute that conducted the study), but there´s already this public opinion making a gluten free diet could help improve your health.

Our tips how to handle such information:

• Keep this in mind, there will certainly be a publication in the future.
• Only then we will know which persons were included, and e.g. what symptoms they suffered from before the study.
• Only then we will know whether the authors considered the so-called Hawthorne effect – this effect specifies an improvement in study participants simply due to their knowledge of being observed.
• Yes, there is a likelihood that this study actually proves that going gluten free could boost energy levels, reduces fatigue, and improve concentration. But we have to have the complete data and information to finally decide on going gluten-free or not.
• It´s just that the way of information so far is quite dubious.

So long, keep calm and eat with self-respect and self-care
