Gingersnaps

Hallelujah Diet or not, our food-frenzied culture is permeated with gluten. As a Western culture on the whole, we’re simply eating more than we used to, including gluten-containing foods; some say with more gluten-containing foods comes a greater risk for increased gluten sensitivity. Some even hypothesize that the world’s relatively recent obsession with anti-bacterial soap and hand sanitizer may be making our immune systems hypersensitive to common allergens (i.e. gluten).

We’re simply eating more than we used to, including gluten-containing foods which can cause nutrient absorption issues for just about anyone. To help you combat the trend in good taste, here's a delicious alternative to traditional cookies!
