Is Toffee Gluten Free?
Toffee itself is typically gluten-free, as it’s made primarily from sugar, butter, and sometimes nuts. However, it’s important to check the specific ingredients and manufacturing processes of any toffee product you’re considering, as some may contain gluten-containing additives or be produced in facilities that process gluten-containing foods, potentially leading to cross-contamination.

Source of energy: Toffee is high in sugar and calories, providing a quick energy boost.
Contains some minerals: Toffee made with butter may provide small amounts of calcium and phosphorus.
Mood enhancer: The sugar content can temporarily boost mood and provide a sense of pleasure.
May contain antioxidants: If made with dark chocolate, it could provide some antioxidants.
Potential dental benefits: Some studies suggest that certain compounds in toffee may help reduce tooth decay, though this is outweighed by its high sugar content.It’s important to note that these potential benefits are minimal, and the negative health impacts of consuming too much toffee (due to its high sugar and calorie content) far outweigh any possible benefits. Toffee should be consumed sparingly as an occasional treat rather than for health reasons.
People with dental work: Toffee is very sticky and hard, which can damage or dislodge fillings, crowns, or bridges.
Those with braces: The sticky nature of toffee can damage orthodontic appliances and make cleaning difficult.
Individuals with sensitive teeth: The hardness of toffee can cause discomfort or pain for those with sensitive teeth.
Diabetics: Toffee is high in sugar, which can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels.
People trying to lose weight: Toffee is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess.
Those with a history of cavities: The high sugar content and sticky texture can increase the risk of tooth decay.
Individuals with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: The hardness of toffee can exacerbate jaw pain or discomfort.
People with certain digestive issues: Those with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or acid reflux may find toffee difficult to digest.
Young children: The hardness and stickiness of toffee pose a choking hazard for young children.
Individuals with nut allergies: Some toffee varieties contain nuts, which can be dangerous for those with allergies.
People following a low-sugar or low-carb diet: Toffee is high in both sugar and carbohydrates.Remember, moderation is key for those who can safely consume toffee, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific dietary concerns.

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 ).
