Dr Greger says inflammatory bowel disease (crone’s or colitis) is most associated with protein from animal products. Eating animal protein (cheese, meats, milk and eggs) increases the chance of getting these diseases. Micro or nano particles like titanium dioxide (to color food white). We may be ingesting a million particles a day. A test was done and it was found that titanium dioxide may be a transport of other substances that cause inflammation. Meat and animal protein is associated with this and so many other diseses. Avoid it as much as possible and eat your veggies!

Here we are in the third of a series on bacteria that can change our cells and may cause diseases. The first BLOG in this series we looked at Bill Gates and his genetic engineering of milk to modify (hopefully improve) our immune system. In the second BLOG of the series we looked at gut bacteria causing bowl diseases. In this BLOG we see it may also be a cause in colitis. This is caused by concentrated milk fats found in many processed foods and confectionaries. Watch your milk and your sugars. Your diet will determine how active you are in old age.
