當心你餐桌上的「隱形殺手」 全球第一名發炎食物竟是它!

In Hong Kong, a food paradise, convenience stores, tea restaurants, and supermarket shelves are overflowing with snacks, instant noodles, processed meats, and desserts, which have long been a part of many people's lives. But did you know that these seemingly delicious choices may actually be the culprits behind chronic inflammation? They are collectively known as " ultra-processed foods . "

🔥 Why is inflammation a hidden health concern for modern people?

Inflammation is not just about the redness, swelling, heat, and pain that occur when the body is injured; it is also the root cause of many chronic diseases, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, gut problems, and even diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Research indicates that almost all autoimmune diseases originate in the gut, and gut health is closely related to the food we eat.

 

🧠 Fiber: Savior or Culprit?

Opinions on fiber differ: vegetarians believe animal products cause inflammation, while meat-eaters argue that plant fiber is the problem. In fact, the human body cannot digest fiber; it is the gut microbiota that truly breaks it down. If the gut microbiota is imbalanced, fiber cannot be effectively fermented and instead becomes "unfermented fiber," causing intestinal irritation and inflammation.

 

💊 Antibiotics and glyphosate: You're not just eating food.

Even more alarming is that ultra-processed foods often contain a pesticide called glyphosate , which is widely used not only in crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat, but is also classified as an antibiotic. Glyphosate inhibits beneficial bacteria in the gut, such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Long-term intake is equivalent to "silently taking antibiotics," disrupting the gut microbiota and leading to decreased immunity and chronic inflammation.

 

🏭 The shady practices of the food industry: Have you been misled?

These food companies not only create problems, but also evade regulation by manipulating science and creating doubt. Just like the tobacco industry in the past, they shift the focus to "personal choice," deny that food itself is harmful, and constantly call for "more research," leaving the public in a fog.

 

🍭 The "basic recipe" for ultra-processed foods

The world's most inflammatory foods are not a single item, but a combination of them:

- Refined sugar

- Refined flour

- Seed oils (such as cottonseed oil and rapeseed oil)

- Glyphosate residues

These ingredients are ubiquitous in common snacks, ready-to-eat foods, and desserts in Hong Kong, especially in processed foods that children often eat, which may pose health risks during their growth period.

 

🌱 Change begins at the dining table

Many people have found that when they switch to a high-protein, low-processed diet, or even a carnivore diet , their allergy and autoimmune symptoms significantly improve. And when children avoid ultra-processed foods, their health also shows positive changes.

 

Hong Kong people lead a fast-paced life and frequently eat out, but if they could start by understanding food and choosing more natural, less processed ingredients, they might be able to lay a more solid foundation for their health. After all, the real enemy isn't you, but those "seemingly harmless" foods.

Are you eating food today, or the root of the problem?
