DESCRIPTION: The high bacteria load in raw or cooked animal foods and fermented foods may trigger an endotoxemic surge of inflammation that may be exacerbated by the presence of saturated animal fat. This is the final video of a three-part series exploring the mechanism behind the spike of inflammation that follows within hours of a meal containing animal products. See the Leaky Gut Theory of Why Animal Products Cause Inflammation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-leaky-gut-theory-of-why-animal-products-cause-inflammation/) and The Endogenous Endotoxin Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-exogenous-endotoxin-theory/) for parts one and two. Though this surge of inflammation can result from dead or live bacteria, the live bacteria can then cause other problems—see, for example, MRSA in U.S. Retail Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mrsa-in-u-s-retail-meat/), Total Recall (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/total-recall/), Chicken Out of UTIs (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-out-of-utis/), and Toxic Megacolon Superbug (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/toxic-megacolon-superbug/). Saturated fat also appears to have other deleterious effects such as increasing the risk of heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/blocking-the-first-step-of-heart-disease/) and shortening the lives of breast cancer survivors (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-butterfat-and-chicken/). For more on the patronizing attitude in which it's believed that people can't handle dietary truths, check out my 13-part series on the dietary guidelines from last October that began with Dietary Guidelines: Corporate Guidance (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-corporate-guidance/). That's just one of many video series. There are hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand topics for you to browse at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dead-meat-bacteria-endotoxemia/ and he'll try to answer it!
