Flashback Friday: The Effects of Avocados and Red Wine on Meal-Induced Inflammation
Channel: NutritionFacts.org
Date: 2021-12-17

Whole plant sources of sugar and fat can ameliorate some of the postprandial (after-meal) inflammation caused by the consumption of refined carbohydrates and meat.

Protein from meat can cause more of an insulin spike than pure table sugar. See the comparisons in my video Paleo Diets May Negate Benefits of Exercise (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleo-diets-may-negate-benefits-of-exercise/).

Interested in more information on the almond butter study I mentioned? I discuss it further in How to Prevent Blood Sugar and Triglyceride Spikes After Meals (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/How-to-Prevent-Blood-Sugar-and-Triglyceride-Spikes-after-Meals).

Berries have their own sugar, so how can eating berries lower the blood sugar spike after a meal? Find out in If Fructose Is Bad, What About Fruit? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/if-fructose-is-bad-what-about-fruit).
