10 Foods That Cause Inflammation
Inflammation Causing Food #10: Factory Made Bread
While bakeries are a factory in a sense, modern bread making techniques have done what they can to accelerate the process to increase their output. Usually, the yeast will digest much of the starch and gluten but when the process is accelerated it has less time to do so. This means that bread made in this way is likely to contain more starch and gluten than normal.
Gluten is an inflammatory and can also lead to an allergic reaction, especially among people with a gluten intolerance. Where possible try to purchase bread not from a store with mass-produced products, but from a bakery using more traditional techniques. Not only can this help reduce inflammation but you will also notice the flavor is much improved.
