Generally speaking, traditional butterscotch candy is gluten-free as it is typically made from sugar, butter, and flavorings which do not contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the specific ingredients list or manufacturer’s information for any particular brand or product, as some may include additives or be produced in facilities that also process gluten-containing items.
Mood booster: The sweet taste can trigger the release of endorphins, potentially improving mood.
Quick energy source: The sugar content provides a rapid source of energy.
Throat soother: Sucking on hard butterscotch candies can help soothe a sore throat temporarily.
Stress relief: For some people, the act of enjoying a candy can be a small stress-relieving ritual.
Potential dental benefit: Sugar-free versions may help stimulate saliva production, which can aid in maintaining oral health.
Nostalgia factor: Positive memories associated with the candy might contribute to emotional well-being.However, it’s important to note that these benefits are limited, and excessive consumption of sugary candies can lead to various health issues, including tooth decay and weight gain. As with all sweets, moderation is key, and butterscotch candy should be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of one’s diet.
Diabetics: Due to its high sugar content, butterscotch candy can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
People with dental issues: The sticky nature of butterscotch can adhere to teeth and potentially damage dental work or exacerbate existing dental problems.
Those with sugar sensitivities or intolerances: Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort from consuming high amounts of sugar.
People trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight: Butterscotch candy is high in calories and offers little nutritional value.
Individuals with certain food allergies: Some butterscotch candies may contain allergens like dairy, soy, or nuts.
Those with gastrointestinal issues: The high sugar content may aggravate conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or acid reflux.
People with a history of cavities or tooth decay: The sugar and sticky texture can contribute to dental problems.
Individuals on specific diets: Those following low-carb, keto, or other restrictive diets may need to avoid butterscotch candy.
Young children: Hard candies can pose a choking hazard for very young children.
People with phenylketonuria (PKU): Some butterscotch candies may contain phenylalanine, which individuals with PKU need to avoid.Always check the ingredients list and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any specific health concerns or dietary restrictions.

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 ).
