Do you even know what gluten is?

Everyone seems to be jumping onto the bandwagon, but many have forgotten to do some research first.

Like, say, maybe learn what gluten actually is?

Fortunately, ASAP Science is here to give us a quick lesson about gluten and put the questions to rest.

“Simply put, gluten is a combination of two proteins found primarily in wheat and related grains, like barley and rye. That’s it. It’s just protein,” says the narrator in the video below, which has clocked up nearly 2 million views since its release on May 15.

The video answers whether or not this type of protein is actually good for you, why some people need to be gluten-free and what types of food contain gluten.

Seriously, viewing this should be a requirement for anyone thinking about going on this trendy diet, so they don’t say something like, “No thanks. I don’t eat steak because I’m gluten-free.”
