Several thousand Tanzanians were divided into two groups. One group were individuals that were eating the traditional African diet. The other group were people that had become westernized, eating the westernized diet. So many cultures are undergoing that transition where you can find the fast food. And the study did a very detailed evaluation of what was the traditional African diet in Tanzania.

Because obviously people eat their indigenous foods, the things that they grow and eat. So it's very plant-based. They have a lot of plantains and they have a lot of bananas. And they also ferment these. So it's fermented products. They have these non-glutinous grains, sorghum. And so it's very high fiber, obviously minimum processed, and very rich in phytochemicals and very colored.

If you look at the photographs in the publication, which are colored, you can see these diets are very beautifully colored. Then, what are the westernized diets? Well, in the same country, they have photos of those. You can have those photos anywhere in the world. They're the convenience foods, the fast foods, the things that a lot of people are drawn to.

And so they then studied the individual's metabolism and their immune cells on both these diets. Living in the same country, sharing the same gene pools, and what did they found? Exactly what we've been talking about. Incredible different marks on their immune cells when they ate their traditional diets with low inflammatory potential, low gene activation, low alarm response.

Their fat was friendly, what little fat they had. And the other group, the westernized diet group, exactly what we see in the rest of the world when you get into the westernized diet. The immune cell profiles change, they become inflammatory potential, senescent, these secretory inflammatory types. They have the zombie cells. They have the issues of meta-inflammation.
