Spike in autoimmune diseases blamed on fast food: scientists
New York Post ^ | January 10, 2022 | Hannah Sparks

Disorders of the immune system are on the rise everywhere thanks to the global popularity of the so-called Western diet.

Autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis have spiked in recent decades, according to scientists James Lee and Carola Vineusa at London’s Francis Crick Institute.

Lee and Vineusa have devoted their study to investigating the cause of such illness, which they believe can be blamed on the recent pervasiveness of fast foods, which “lack certain important ingredients.”

“Numbers of autoimmune cases began to increase about 40 years ago in the West,” Lee told the Guardian’s Observer in a new interview. “However, we are now seeing some emerge in countries that never had such diseases before.”

Lee pointed to cases in Asia and the Middle East, which has seen the biggest recent upswing in [inflammatory bowel disease] — which has felt the boom of the fast food industry during that time.

“Before that they had hardly seen the disease,” he said.

Vineusa said there’s no stopping the “global spread of fast food franchises.”

“So instead, we are trying to understand the fundamental genetic mechanisms that underpin autoimmune diseases and make some people susceptible but others not.”

Autoimmune diseases arise out of the immune system’s inability to differentiate invading organisms from local tissues, prompting immune defenses to attack healthy cells, too. Inflammation due to repeated immune response can cause long-term damage to the affected organs and tissues.

Today, an estimated 24 million Americans — nearly 7% of the population — suffer from one of this group of illnesses, according to the US National Institutes of Health. Their studies have shown an increase in the prevalence of autoimmune disease biomarkers in those aged 12 and up, from 22 million Americans between 1988 to 1991, to

People have been eating fast food for generations. More fruitcake scientists spewing bullcrap to screw up life.

I would worry more about the correlation of fake mRNA vaxes to autoimmune disease.

You don’t need to be a scientist to know that a diet of fast food is not healthy. I might partake once or twice in a given month but generally I avoid fast food like the plague and try to eat well.

“fast food”

Because the reactions are being noticed and they are not “rare”.

Western diet = vaccines.

Yeah, the usual “scientists” are coming out with all kinds of things to cover clot shot injury and death.

Cousins of those “experts” we keep hearing from.

Is there a diploma that says “I be an expert” or “I is a scientist”?

This bovine excretion reminds me of the one liner:
Six weeks ago I couldn’t spell engineer, now I are one.

Well that is good. I don’t eat a lot of it either but I hardly think it is responsible for current autoimmune disease.

“lack certain important ingredients.”

They mention fiber, so that's one. But what are the other important ingredients? They don't say.

They have to come up with new Goldsteins.

They cant blame adverse vaxx reactions on the unvaxxed.

They still have many many more useless eaters to cull under the guise of “helping them”.

They sure help them. They help them right on out of this world.

Kinda like a virus, right?

actually it is due to the HIV segments which FauXi inserted into the VIRUS to get his PATENT.

Fast food. I can cook a grilled cheese and tomato in 5 minutes. Does that qualify ? Hold the spike protein shot

Sounds like they’re ramping up the propaganda to cover lots of deaths and ill people.

For inflammatory bowel disease alone there are “more than 250” variants known today — up from just less than a dozen counted when Lee and Vineusa began their research years ago.

Is it getting worse, or are doctors just dividing the same disease into finer and finer variations? It's like autism: is it more common, or are doctors just quicker to diagnose it?

As someone mentioned above, the only ingredient mentioned was fiber. Come on, guys, give some details.

Lee pointed to cases in Asia and the Middle East, which has seen the biggest recent upswing in [inflammatory bowel disease] — which has felt the boom of the fast food industry during that time.

Yeah, feel the "boom!" with your inflammatory bowel disease.
