Gluten‐free foods: healthy choice or expensive alternative? What evidence is there in Turkey?

The nutritional value of GF products, particularly commercially available flours, is not superior to that of non-GF products, whereas GF foods are generally more than twice as expensive. Although enhancing variety, nutritional quality and affordability of GF products could improve quality of life for individuals requiring a GF diet, these products are unlikely to offer significant health benefits for those without confirmed gluten-related diseases. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
