Beware the Modern Diet
The modern diet predominantly consists of refined sugars, highly processed grains, and seed oils, which are recent inventions in human history. These substances, lacking the presence in our evolutionary past, contribute to chronic inflammation and potential health issues. Despite the absence of definitive studies linking seed oils and other processed ingredients to negative health outcomes, their hazardous nature is evident, as illustrated by the need for protective gear when handling glyphosate, a herbicide that poses risks to living organisms. This highlights the critical importance of examining the composition of our food and understanding the implications of consuming items that deviate from natural dietary patterns.
