Dr Bikman's Lab 2: LEAKY GUT...fructose & vegetable oils cause the problems!
presents episode 218:
Dr Ben Bikman on
Insulin IQ podcast:
Bikman’s Laboratory
Fructose…
-increases LPS movement from the intestines into blood
Study in Journal of Hepatology, 2019
Fructose…
-increases LPS movement from the intestines into blood
Study in Journal of Hepatology, 2019
-done on rats & cells
-found fructose caused gut lining junctions became leaky
-more movement of pathogens
from intestines into blood stream
Many more similar studies
Fructose…
-known to speed movement of pathogens from intestines
into blood stream
-contributes so much to liver problems:
~fatty liver disease
~steatohepatitis (liver inflammation)
~fibrosis of the liver
Fructose…
-not only due to excess fructose into liver creating fat
-also: due to fructose causing leaky gut, so
~exposing liver more to pro-inflammatory pathogens
Fats (vegetable & seed oils)
Study 2019
-2 groups with matched macronutrients
-differed in types of fats used
Results
-polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6, corn oil):
-promoted damage in testines
-enhanced survival of harmful bacteria
-allowing them to leak into body
Results
-saturated fats
(while appearing to promote inflammation…)
-actually promoting inflammatory response that:
~gearing intestines for healing
Inflammation, when healthy, promotes
healing & recovery!
