We may love our superfoods, but when the Huffington Post Canada had a chance to interview Dr. Oz, we wanted to know what his least favourite trendy food was. And his response was immediate: gluten-free foods.

Watch the video for Dr. Oz's explanation of exactly what gluten is, and why only a select part of the population should remove it from their diet.
