Quick takeaways

The fermentation process in our gut plays a crucial role in determining whether fiber is anti-inflammatory or inflammatory.

Ultra-processed foods, consisting of sugar, flour, seed oils, and glyphosate, are identified as the most inflammatory foods, contributing to gut dysbiosis and inflammation.

Deep dives

The Battle Over Fiber

There is debate about whether fiber is beneficial or harmful for inflammation. Some argue that fiber causes inflammation, while others claim it has anti-inflammatory properties. The key to understanding this lies in the fermentation process. Microbes in our gut break down fiber through fermentation, releasing its anti-inflammatory properties. However, excessive unfermented fiber can lead to inflammation, which suggests a disruption in the gut microbiome. Personal experiences and histories reveal that certain individuals thrive on high-fiber diets, while others experience inflammation. Factors such as antibiotic use, early childhood diet, and ultra-processed food consumption contribute to gut inflammation and affect our ability to tolerate fiber.

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.
