Unfortunately, what we like most is not always good for our health. Indeed, certain much-loved foods could cause brain damage. Here are the foods to watch out for.
The hypothesis of scientists on food allergies
Allergies seem to be an increasingly widespread phenomenon, although fortunately science is making progress in terms of solutions. In addition to the remedies, experts are also focusing on the possible causes. In particular, as regards food allergies, researchers at the Federico II University of Naples have identified a possible culprit. The study involved children between the ages of six and twelve and was presented at the congress of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.
The hypothesis that emerged from the research work is that among those responsible for food allergies there is the so-called “junk food”, or junk food. In fact, eating this type of food too often would risk increasing the levels of particular compounds called “Ages” in the body, which in turn could cause hyperreactivity to the allergens contained in some foods. Ages are mainly present in sweets, industrial products and baked goods, but also in grilled or fried ingredients at high temperatures. Moreover, these compounds are not only responsible for food allergies, but it is also suspected that they are also linked to the onset of diabetes and various chronic diseases. Of course, more studies are needed before confirming these hypotheses. But there are also other reasons why junk food could be bad for your health.
These much-loved foods may also be among the causes of allergies and Alzheimer’s at an ever younger age
Junk food certainly entices young and old alike, but there would be more than one reason to consume it in moderation. First, some scientists have observed that junk food could cause inflammation in the body: this, in turn, could increase the risk of getting sick. In addition, a study published in the scientific journal Biochemical Pharmacology and taken up by the Veronesi Foundation suggests that fizzy drinks and fatty, calorie-rich foods could cause early brain damage. In particular, junk food could be responsible for juvenile Alzheimer’s, that is, the one that affects already at 55 or 60 years old. In short, among the causes of allergies and Alzheimer’s there could also be what we eat. All the more reason to follow a healthy diet!
