Cake is not inherently gluten-free, as traditional cake recipes typically use wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, there are many gluten-free cake recipes and alternatives available that use gluten-free flours such as almond flour, coconut flour, or rice flour instead.
Emotional well-being: Eating cake can provide a sense of joy and satisfaction, potentially improving mood.
Social connection: Sharing cake at celebrations can foster social bonds and promote positive social interactions.
Energy boost: The carbohydrates and sugars in cake can provide a quick source of energy.
Nutrient content: Some cakes may contain ingredients with nutritional value, such as: – Eggs (protein, vitamins) – Milk (calcium, protein) – Fruits (vitamins, fiber, antioxidants) – Nuts (healthy fats, protein)
Occasional indulgence: Including treats like cake in a balanced diet may help maintain a healthy relationship with food.
Potential antioxidants: Dark chocolate cakes may contain some antioxidants from cocoa.It’s important to note that these benefits are limited, and cake should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The high sugar and calorie content of most cakes means they should be considered an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a healthy 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 ).
