Yes, pure brown sugar is naturally gluten-free. However, it’s always important to check the label for any potential cross-contamination or added ingredients, especially if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.
Contains small amounts of minerals: Brown sugar retains some molasses, which provides trace amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium.
Lower calorie content: Brown sugar has slightly fewer calories per teaspoon compared to white sugar due to the presence of water in the molasses.
Potential antioxidant properties: The molasses in brown sugar contains some antioxidants, which may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
May aid digestion: The molasses content in brown sugar might have a mild laxative effect, potentially helping with constipation.
Could boost energy: The minerals in brown sugar may contribute to a small energy boost.
Possible skin benefits: When used topically, brown sugar can act as a natural exfoliant for the skin.
May have a lower glycemic index: Some studies suggest that brown sugar might have a slightly lower glycemic index compared to white sugar, potentially causing a less dramatic spike in blood sugar levels.
Potential source of vitamin B: Brown sugar contains small amounts of vitamin B, which is important for various bodily functions.It’s important to note that while these benefits exist, brown sugar is still a form of added sugar and should be consumed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
Diabetics: Brown sugar can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels.
People with insulin resistance: Brown sugar can exacerbate insulin sensitivity issues.
Individuals on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Brown sugar is high in carbohydrates.
Those with obesity or at risk of obesity: Brown sugar is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain.
People with dental issues: The high sugar content can contribute to tooth decay.
Individuals with candida overgrowth: Sugar can feed yeast and worsen the condition.
Those with certain types of cancer: Some cancers may be fueled by high sugar intake.
People with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Excess sugar consumption can worsen this condition.
Individuals with a history of sugar addiction: Brown sugar can trigger cravings and relapse.
Those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Sugar can exacerbate symptoms in some people with IBS.
People following specific religious or cultural dietary restrictions: Some may avoid refined sugars for these reasons.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice regarding your diet.

What is Tolerase® G?
A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
