6 MYTH: Gluten free foods are healthier
傳聞6：不含麩質的食物更健康.

TRUTH: Sorry, but that strawberry you just dropped on the kitchen floor becomes contaminated with bacteria within milliseconds so that three-second rule is useless.
真相：很抱歉,無論你手速多塊,草莓掉在廚房地上的那一瞬間就被污染了.細菌能在幾毫秒內附著食物,所謂食物落下三秒內仍干凈的規則其實是無稽之談.
Just give it a good wash under the tap.
