Yes, pure cooking oils are naturally gluten-free as they are extracted from plants or seeds that do not contain gluten. However, it’s important to check the labels of flavored or infused oils, as well as those processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing products, to ensure there’s no cross-contamination or added ingredients that might contain gluten.
Source of essential fatty acids: Many cooking oils provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for heart and brain health.
Vitamin E content: Some oils, like sunflower and olive oil, are rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports immune function and skin health.
Heart health: Oils high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Some oils, like extra virgin olive oil, contain compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Nutrient absorption: Cooking with oils can help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) from other foods.
Blood sugar regulation: Certain oils may help improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.
Weight management: When used in moderation, healthy oils can help promote feelings of fullness and support weight management.
Skin health: Some oils contain compounds that may benefit skin health when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Brain function: Oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids may support cognitive function and brain health.
Antioxidant properties: Many plant-based oils contain antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.Remember that the health benefits can vary significantly depending on the type of oil, its quality, and how it’s used in cooking.

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 ).
