Is Salt Water Taffy Gluten Free?
Generally, salt water taffy is gluten-free as it’s typically made with sugar, corn syrup, salt, flavoring, and food coloring, which do not contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the specific ingredients list or contact the manufacturer to confirm, as some brands may use ingredients that contain gluten or produce their taffy in facilities that process gluten-containing products.

Quick energy boost: The sugar content provides a rapid source of carbohydrates for short-term energy.
Mood enhancement: Sugar consumption can temporarily boost mood and increase serotonin levels.
Minimal fat content: Most salt water taffy recipes are low in fat compared to other candies.
Small amounts of minerals: Depending on the recipe, it may contain trace amounts of minerals from salt and sometimes corn syrup.
Potential throat soothing: The chewy texture may provide temporary relief for sore throats.
Calorie source: Can serve as a quick calorie source for those needing to gain weight.
Dental health (sugar-free versions): Sugar-free varieties may be less harmful to teeth than regular sugar-based candies.It’s important to note that these benefits are minimal, and salt water taffy should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet due to its high sugar content and low nutritional value.
People with diabetes or pre-diabetes: Salt water taffy is high in sugar and can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels.
Individuals with dental issues: The sticky nature of taffy can pull out fillings, crowns, or damage dental work.
Those with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: The chewy texture can exacerbate jaw pain and discomfort.
People with braces or other orthodontic appliances: Taffy can damage or become stuck in braces and other dental devices.
Individuals on a low-sugar or low-calorie diet: Salt water taffy is calorie-dense and high in sugar.
Those with a history of cavities: The high sugar content and sticky texture can contribute to tooth decay.
People with certain digestive issues: Some may find the chewy texture difficult to digest.
Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU): Some taffy contains phenylalanine, which should be avoided by those with PKU.
Those with allergies to common taffy ingredients: Such as milk, soy, or nuts, depending on the specific recipe.
Young children: Due to the choking hazard and potential dental issues.
Elderly individuals with dentures or weak teeth: The sticky texture can be problematic for dental prosthetics.Remember, moderation is key for most people who don’t fall into these categories.

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 ).
