DESCRIPTION: The foreign meat molecule Neu5Gc may not only contribute to the progression of cancer and heart disease by supplying inflammation, but also set children up for life-threatening reactions to E. coli toxins originating in the same animal products. This is the final installment of my video series that started with Cancer as an Autoimmune Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-as-an-autoimmune-disease/), the mystery for which may have been solved with How Tumors Use Meat to Grow: Xeno-Autoantibodies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-tumors-use-meat-to-grow-xeno-autoantibodies/). Neu5Gc may also play a role in heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nonhuman-molecules-lining-our-arteries/) and inflammatory arthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-inflammatory-meat-molecule-neu5gc/), but this understanding requires some background on how our immune systems work. This is explained in Clonal Selection Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clonal-selection-theory-of-immunity/) and Clonal Deletion Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clonal-deletion-theory-of-immunity/). For more on E. coli, see Fecal Bacteria Survey (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-bacteria-survey/) and Chicken Out of UTIS (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-out-of-utis/).
