10 Foods To Avoid With Arthritis
Arthritis Food To Avoid #3: Advanced Glycation End Products
As humans, we have been cooking our food for thousands of years. We also perform other processes such as pasteurization. These alter the chemical makeup of the food in various ways that help us to consume it easier, protects us against disease and parasites, helps keep it longer, and of course helps make it taste great.
These processes, however, can produce what are known as advanced glycation end products (AGES). AGES have been shown to cause a response in the immune system, meaning the release of cytokines. Cytokines contribute to inflammation, meaning that foods with AGES should be kept clear of if you have arthritis.
