As mentioned in a previous post, there are some great gluten-free options. I, for one, adore pastries, and in San Francisco I can get wonderful sweet pastries at Mariposa Bakery. Yes, they are gluten free. But they are not sugar-free! They mostly use refined cane sugar as sweetener. This is not good for you. You might think you're doing something great for yourself eating gluten free, but if it's loaded with sugar, it's not doing anything wonderful for you.
Look at the ingredients for the Pinguinos
Yeah, they are delicious, but the first ingredient is sugar! So, check the label - and even if it's "gluten-free," if it's loaded with sugar, don't buy it!
