Our daily diet: A pro inflammatory diet

***A PRO-INFLAMMATORY DIET***


According to many medical experts, the most prevalent trigger for inflammation is our dailydiet of processed foods and junk foods.
Cardiologist Dr. Richard Fleming goes so far as to call sodas, french fries, chips, burgers and other junk foods as Chronic inflammation’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). He says, “Every day there are WMDs of our diet that assault our bodies rendering countless damage and casualties to our body’s defenses, yielding more and more inflammation and damage.” The bad news is that if you want to control inflammation you have to give up junk food. The good news is that it may save you from suffering from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis and other diseases caused by chronic inflammation.


TRANSFATS:

Trans-fatty acids (hydrogenated oil) in foods such as chips, french fries, crackers, cookies, processed foods and margarine are positively associated with increased markers of chronic inflammation according to a study “Dietary Intake of Trans-fatty acids and Systemic Inflammation in Women” published in the American Journal of Nutrition, April, 2004.

The Journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention (September, 1997) reported that women with breast cancer have higher levels of trans-fatty acids stored in their bodies. Higher levels of trans-fatty acids increased risk of breast cancer by 40%
.
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (October 200 reported that higher intake of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are associated with elevated concentration of inflammatory markers.
Dr. Richard Fleming, nuclear cardiologist and founder of Fleming Heart Institute said in an interview with ABC News, “Trans-fatty acids interfere with enzymes that process healthy omega-3 fatty acids, an anti-inflammatory fat.”


WHITE SUGAR AND WHITE FLOUR:

A diet high in white flour, white sugar and other refined carbohydrates definitely increases inflammation markers according to a study by Simin Liu, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School. Women whose diet included potatoes, breakfast cereals, white bread, muffins and white rice had elevated CRP levels. He concluded that high-glycemic foods contribute to chronic inflammation.


FOODS COOKED AT HIGH TEMPERATURE:

Eating foods cooked at high temperature such as burgers, french fries, fried foods, and chips contributes to the production of inflammatory cytokines. Eating these foods leads to the formation of products which bind a protein molecule to a glucose molecule resulting in the formation of damaged protein structures in the body. As these damaged proteins accumulate they cause cells to emit signals that increase the production of inflammatory cytokines.


HOW TO CONTROL INFLAMMATION:

The good news is: Inflammation can be controlled and reversed (although some permanent damages may not.)

Avoid PRO-INFLAMMATORY FOODs like french fries (trans-fatty acids), burgers (red meat), bakery products (white flour, high sugar and dairy), canned, instant and processed foods (additives).

Eat healthy. Eat the right kinds of anti-inflammatory foods. Enrich family meals with variety of vegetables (cooked and raw), fish, and whole grains. These natural foods are rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins, fiber, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals deprived of us in processed foods. Fish and whole grain are also rich in omega-3 and omega-9 that help control the cycle that promotes unnecessary inflammation.

Poison in the Food: Hydrogenated Oils


How shocked would you be to learn that the U.S. population is being slowly poisoned by a single ingredient deliberately added to the human food supply?

At first, it sounds like nonsense. But then you realize, after learning more, that the World Health Organization tried to outlaw this ingredient decades ago. You find out that hundreds of doctors, researchers and scientists are blatantly warning us about the detrimental health effects of this ingredient. And you learn that this substance causes heart disease, cancer, birth defects, diabetes and many other fatal diseases.

In fact, this substance causes a cell-by-cell failure of the human body by destroying the porosity and flexibility of healthy cell membranes. It's like tearing your body down from the inside out.
What ingredient am I talking about? Hydrogenated oils, of course. For decades, food companies (and even our own government regulators) have lied to use about hydrogenated oils, telling us this disease-causing substance was not merely safe, but actually better for your health than other sources of fat like butter.

What happens when you eat hydrogenated oils?
Just how bad is this ingredient for your health? Consider this list of detrimental health effects caused by hydrogenated oils:
Directly promotes heart disease
Promotes cancers: breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer
Clogs artery walls and promotes atherosclerosis, heart disease
Raises LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol
Raises blood sugar levels and promotes weight gain
Interferes with the absorption of essential fatty acids and DHA
Impairs brain function and damages brain cells
Accelerates tumor growth

Protect yourself and your family right now

No one else will ever teach you this information. Your grocery store won't teach you because it doesn't want to lose sales on dangerous products it carries. Food companies won't teach you this because they don't want to own up to the fact that their products are harming people. And your government will never teach you this because, of course, the very government bodies that regulate the food industry (the FDA and USDA) are actually promoters of the industry, not regulators. Their actions have proven they would much rather see industry earn higher profits than protect the health of you and your family.
