Foods that Promote Inflammation
Red Meats, Egg Yolks, Dairy, Gluten, Corn / Corn Syrup, Sugar, Flour / Processed Foods, Alcohol
We often hear the phrase "all things in moderation". Meat, especially red meat, is an exception to this rule. Even what most would consider a "moderate" amount of red meat can bring on autoimmune symptoms.
This is especially true of MS and lupus.

Studies show that dairy (milk) will aggravate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and asthma.

Gluten is a component of grains such as wheat, oats, barley, and rye. Besides being inflammatory, doctors have reported a higher than average number of people with autoimmune disorders are allergic to gluten. They suggest complete avoidance for at least one month to see if benefits will occur.
This is especially true of individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Corn, besides promoting inflammation, has been called the leading cause of chronic food addiction in this century. It is especially a problem for individuals with RA, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.

Refined white sugar makes it more difficult for your body to absorb vitamins and minerals, a major contributor to the cause of autoimmunity. Sugar also suppresses immune function, leaving us open to infection.

If you want to get rid of inflammation, you must give up processed foods and junk foods. They tend to be full of everything you shouldn't eat. This list includes most breakfast cereals, muffins, breads, crackers, cookies, and doughnuts.

Coffee - Caffeine is a toxic chemical. Its purpose in plant life is to act as an insecticide. In people, caffeine suppresses the enzymes needed for memory making. It also raises both blood sugar and insulin levels, causing cytokine production and aggravating diabetes.
Simply drinking decaffeinated coffee isn't the answer either. Women who drink more than one cup a day of decaffeinated coffee are considered at a much higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. The theory is that chemically decaffeinated products are causing the increased risk of autoimmunity.

The more alcohol consumed, the more the immune system becomes out of whack. Besides being pro-inflammatory and addictive, alcohol breaks down to a toxin in the body called aldehyde. Toxins are dangerous chemicals that the liver does not recognize as useful. Toxins attack and destroy cells and attract germs. Aldehyde accumulates in the brain, spinal cord, joints, muscles and tissues, where it causes muscle weakness, irritation, and pain.
