#1 Cause of Inflammation: Dietary Sugars. Refined Flours, and Artificial Sweeteners

Dietary sugars and refined flours are the biggest triggers of inflammation. The ugly downward spiral begins as they cause insulin levels to spike (sharply rise), starting a cascade of events of biochemical reactions that create chronic and persistent inflammation eventually leading to:

• Insulin resistance
• Poorer maintenance of blood sugar control
• More chronic disease

Other Players

Aside from sugar, a high amount of artificial sweeteners along with a low amount of dietary fiber also contribute to systemic inflammation that leads to worsening insulin resistance
