Скачать или смотреть Could the food in your pantry be causing Lupus?

Can you imagine a food causing an autoimmune disease? And in such a tough condition? Lupus is challenging to live with-often called an ‘invisible’ disease because it may not be obvious to see but those that have it can tell you it’s not easy to live with. While we look for better treatments, what if improving our diet can help prevent (or improve how we feel)?

The studies are mounting. Ultraprocessed foods seem to be implicated for several conditions….including in this study of lupus.
Studies for inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative colitis) also have similar studies.

This doesn’t mean those that have lupus have it because of food they ate. There are soooo many reasons one can develop an autoimmune disease. But this may be one of the causes in some women who develop it.

When you look at a label and don’t understand the ingredients, chances are, it’s an ultraprocessed food.
Even many common cereals are disguised as healthy but actually are ultra processed foods.

I have a lot of questions here some of which are:
1. Were these women predisposed to get lupus?
2. Did medications make a difference?
3. Would a randomized controlled trial show the same?

Correlation does not equal causation. Need more studies but it’s possibly a step to understanding our relationship with food and autoimmune disease.
