“When mice consume a diet that is high in fat and sugar, they tend to develop metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, much like humans who eat a similar diet.”

“In a randomized crossover study of 20 healthy adults, a saturated-fat meal raised measured circulating endotoxin, while an omega-3-rich meal lowered it. The measured systemic inflammatory biomarkers did not differ between the meal conditions, showing that the response depends on the meal, marker, and study setting.”

“Eating a typical Western diet – high in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages – raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“In a three-week crossover trial in 29 healthy young men, sugar-sweetened beverages changed fasting glucose, LDL particle patterns, and high-sensitivity CRP. Small meal-challenge studies have also measured higher endotoxin and selected cellular inflammatory signals after saturated-fat-rich cream or coconut-oil meals.”
