Is Taffy Gluten Free?
Taffy is generally considered gluten-free, as it’s typically made from sugar, corn syrup, flavorings, and sometimes butter or oils, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the specific ingredients list and manufacturing practices of any particular brand of taffy, as some may use additives or be produced in facilities that also process gluten-containing products, potentially leading to cross-contamination.

Low in fat: Most taffy recipes contain little to no fat.
Energy boost: The sugar content can provide a quick energy boost.
Mood enhancer: The act of eating something sweet can temporarily improve mood.
Calcium source: Some taffy varieties made with milk products may contain small amounts of calcium.
Teeth cleaning: The sticky nature of taffy may help remove food particles from teeth (though this is counteracted by its sugar content).
Portion control: Individual taffy pieces are typically small, which can help with portion control if eaten in moderation.It’s important to note that these points are not significant health benefits, and taffy should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet due to its high sugar content. The potential negative effects of excessive sugar consumption generally outweigh any minor benefits taffy might offer.
People with dental work: Those with braces, crowns, bridges, or loose fillings should be careful, as taffy can damage or dislodge dental work.
Individuals with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: The chewy texture can exacerbate jaw pain and discomfort.
People with sensitive teeth: The sticky nature of taffy can cause discomfort for those with tooth sensitivity.
Diabetics: Due to its high sugar content, taffy should be avoided or consumed in very limited quantities by diabetics.
Those on a diet or watching their calorie intake: Taffy is high in calories and sugar, making it less suitable for weight management.
Young children: Taffy can be a choking hazard for very young children who may not chew it properly.
Elderly individuals with dentures: The sticky texture can potentially damage or dislodge dentures.
People with certain allergies: Those allergic to common taffy ingredients like nuts, milk, or artificial colorings should check labels carefully.
Individuals prone to cavities: The high sugar content and sticky texture can increase the risk of tooth decay.
Anyone with difficulty chewing or swallowing: The chewy nature of taffy can be problematic for these individuals.Remember, moderation is key for most people who don’t fall into these categories.

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 ).
