Grain consumption can lead to inflammation from "summary" of Paleo Solution, 2nd Edition by Robb Wolf
Consuming grains can lead to inflammation in the body. This can happen for a few different reasons. Grains contain compounds known as lectins, which can irritate the lining of the gut and contribute to a condition known as leaky gut. When the gut lining is compromised, it allows substances to enter the bloodstream that would normally be kept out, triggering an immune response and inflammation. In addition to lectins, grains also contain substances called phytates, which can interfere with the absorption of important minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. When these minerals are not properly absorbed, it can lead to deficiencies that can contribute to inflammation in the body. Furthermore, grains are high in carbohydrates, particularly in the form of gluten. Many people have a sensitivity to gluten, which can manifest as inflammation in the gut and other parts of the body. This immune response to gluten can exacerbate inflammation and lead to a host of health issues.- The consumption of grains can disrupt the delicate balance in the body, leading to inflammation and a cascade of negative effects on health. By eliminating grains from the diet, it is possible to reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being.
