Processed foods disrupt your #guthealth! #gutmicrobiome #seed #digestion #podcastclips

Never before have humans really even had the choice of things like a processed food product in the way that they are today, even in seemingly healthy beverages or foods. Right. If you think about the differences between cultures where kids are exposed to just peanuts, for example, versus peanut butter, like Standard American, like heavily creamed emulsified peanut butter, one theory about a lot of these sensitivities is that while we give kids these processed food products from a very young age, if you induce that immune response, what's the immune system going to attribute to it? Not necessarily the emulsifier, but it's going to look at the peanut antigen. Right. Over time, maybe not in everyone, but enough that you start to see these things at the population level, you can start to see why allergies and sensitivities may be presenting themselves from something that could be as innocuous as these types of products. So I think that there's a lot that we don't know about things that we accept as healthy just because they don't have acute toxicity, but that they could be interacting with your environment in a very strange way.
