Some people had very little inflammation after eating, while others had much more.

But how exactly does food trigger inflammation?

When you eat, sugar and fat make their way into your bloodstream.

In response, your body takes action to bring your blood sugar and fat levels back to normal in a controlled way.

Research shows that food-induced inflammation can increase the risks of developing heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
