Recent research highlights that only two days of a high-fat diet can damage immune cells in the gut, particularly ILC3s responsible for producing IL-22, which protects the intestinal barrier. This disruption can lead to leaky gut syndrome, allowing harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. The study reveals that saturated fats increase inflammation, potentially causing long-term health problems, while unsaturated fats from sources like olive oil can promote gut health by supporting IL-22 production.
So much for weekends of caloric abandon. New research confirms that just two days of eating a high-fat diet can compromise critical immune cells in the gut.
The more saturated fats we eat, the more inflammation that builds up. This inflammation build-up is initially silent, remaining hidden in our bodies until years later.
