Foods That Cause Arthritis

There are a lot of myths about food inducing arthritis...or are they? One of the best kept secrets in medicine is the leaky gut syndrome. In this situation the pores of the small intesting are too big and they let large molecules that normally cannot traverse this membrane come across and into the body. Because 60% + of all our immune cells are located in this place, it is understandable that it could become overwhelmed if too many molecules that normally cannot get there do, especially if the body recognizes them as foreign and mounts an immune response against them. When this happens, the likelihood for immune overreactivity is increased and there are times when autimmunity works against our own tissues and can cause autoimmune arthritis.
