In reply to Suzette Armenta. Oh dear! Can you please provide the source of your "Consumer report"? I always find it helpful to read the actual study since the study group may or may not include specific health issues, geographical areas and/or peoples I am interested in. Thanks!

This is such a great informative guide. Cassava flour is my favorite GF substitute. I often use it for pancakes but after reading this I’m going to branch out and try a few other recipes as well.
