More reason to cut the fat!

Asthma is just one of a host of inflammation-associated diseases that are exacerbated by “The American Diet” i.e. saturated fat and sugar. We’ve been studying this at a molecular level and the actual molecular steps that the excess fat triggers can be traced from mouth to overactive immune cell to tissue damage. Scary. If everyone could see these fat-activated cells chewing up tissue through the microscope like I have, you would have a lot easier time avoiding it!!
