Summary

Today, I want to cover the most inflammatory food in the world.


There is a lot of debate over what the most inflammatory food is. Some people say meat, while others say it's the fiber in plants.


Some people do well consuming fiber, and others don’t. Why? Humans can’t digest fiber. Your microbes are what break down fiber by fermenting it.


While fiber is anti-inflammatory, unfermented fiber is inflammatory. If you don’t have enough of the right microbes in your gut, you could have more of an issue with fiber than other people.


Certain things like antibiotics, improper nutrition as a child, ultra-processed foods, and glyphosate can alter your microbiome and lead to inflammation.


The most inflammatory foods in the world are ultra-processed foods: a basic recipe of sugar, flour, and seed oils with a dash of glyphosate.

0:18.5

inflammation and then you have the carnivores over here saying it's the fiber that's causing information.

So they get rid of all the fiber and the plants and all their inflammation goes away.

0:29.4

So this is really confusing the public, like what do you do there's many plants and

0:33.7

herbs that have natural anti-inflammatory right turmeric and milk thistle and

0:38.0

stinging nettle root and many other plants have anti-inflammatory but of course they also have antineutrients right?

Some people might say plants weren't designed for us to consume

0:48.2

because they don't want to be eaten.

0:50.8

But someone could say the same thing with animals.

0:52.8

Animals don't want to be eaten too.

0:54.3

They want to survive, right?

0:55.7

So there's this big battle on this fiber, right?

0:59.0

Fiber.

0:59.8

Is it good?

1:01.7

Should we consume more of it? I know personally for me when I started

1:05.2

getting rid of the grain fibers and start consuming more protein, especially

1:10.8

for breakfast, a lot of my inflammation, and went away. But I also consume a lot of plants and doesn't create inflammation in my gut. So why is that some people do well on more meat and maybe other
