And I do think it kind of not just agitates our immune system, but it causes our immune system to go a little bit haywire.
And you're continually being exposed to it.
Right.
Whoa.
And I mean, I think like thinking about the food supply in particular is maybe helpful here.
Like to simplify a very complicated story, like our food production has completely changed like within the last century.
Like if we're talking about these long evolutionary timelines for our immune system to adjust and adapt, like we have sent a shock to the system just in like the last hundred years with the advent of, you know, mass agriculture and things like ultra processed foods.
And when you think about the ways that this kind of chronic disease
low-grade inflammation continues to persist, every day you're eating some kind of, maybe even despite our best efforts, you're eating some kind of new ultra-processed food or you're eating more sugar than is naturally healthy or maybe more fat, especially if you live in the United States.
And so your body goes into this response to try to do something about it, but there's nothing to resolve.
The next day, you're going to eat something again that's once again going to continue to perturb your immune system and start these inflammatory responses.
And so, yeah, it's like...
You can't escape it.
We live inside of modernity.
You step outside and there is air pollution.
You look at our clothes and they have these new synthetic chemicals that do inevitably seep into our skin and into our bodies a little bit.
Then especially,
With food and food processing, there's just this constant exposure to things that your immune system doesn't recognize and doesn't know what to do with and thinks that it wants to get rid of, but it never can because that exposure is continual and constantly renewed.
And so I think that's, I hope that's sort of a helpful way of thinking about how like your body is doing something that's natural in response to these unnatural exposures, but it's sort of an endless cycle, an endless loop that continues to drive this inflammation over time and eventually does lead to tissue damage and some of the more serious health problems that we worry about.
Yeah.
