Jenny certainly has a way with words ;). Here’s her take on all the gluten-free products hitting the marketplace (emphasis mine):
The “health food” groceries are filling up with “gluten free” products that are extremely high in carbohydrates, which are being promoted as if they were good for you. They aren’t. They are just expensive blood sugar bombs, filled with fast, refined carbs, both starches and sugars. They are a poor choice for anyone who is interested in preserving their health, and for people with diabetes they are dangerous since the high starch and sugar content is guaranteed to raise blood sugar very high.
Son of SnackWells cookies anyone?

She’s right about them being high in sugar but they’re no doubt healthier than the average cookie!
