The University of Illinois Extension has begun holding their weekly meetings of Hot Topic Tuesday where people can join to talk and learn about issues in the food and nutrition world. Lisa Peterson, Nutrition and Wellness Educator at the extension, said next week they are talking about Gluten Free and whether people should use these products or not. Peterson gave some insight as to what gluten free is, and what these foods are primarily used for.

Peterson said people who don't have Celiac's Disease shouldn't get the gluten free food because it's taking nutrition the body needs out of the diet.

The topic of Gluten Free will be discussed on Hot Topic Tuesday at the U of I Extension next Tuesday from 6:30 to 7:30. Peterson appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
