Flashback Friday: Why Do Plant-Based Diets Help Rheumatoid Arthritis? NutritionFacts.org
Rheumatoid arthritis may be triggered by autoimmune friendly fire against a urinary tract infection bacteria called Proteus mirabilis, which could help explain why sufferers randomized to a plant-based diet experience such remarkable benefit.

Leave it in the comment section at https://ift.tt/3i6IYgL and someone on the NutritionFacts.org team will try to answer it. I have to admit I had never even heard of Proteus mirabilis. That’s why I love doing this work—I learn as much as you do! I explored another unconventional theory as to why plant-based diets are so successful in treating inflammatory arthritis in Potassium and Autoimmune Disease (https://ift.tt/2qXnb0H). There’s another foodborne bacteria implicated in human disease, the EXPEC in chicken leading to urinary tract infections—another game-changer: Avoiding Chicken To Avoid Bladder Infections (https://ift.tt/2qX176r). This reminds me of the Neu5Gc story (The Inflammatory Meat Molecule Neu5Gc: https://ift.tt/3dAv9Us), that mystery pig brain disease (Eating Outside Our Kingdom: https://ift.tt/31iXkEZ) and the crazy tick bite meat allergies thing (Alpha Gal and the Lone Star Tick: https://ift.tt/2qU2vq0). Since this video came out, I’ve done lots more videos on gut flora. See them all on the microbiome topic page (https://ift.tt/3g1BXMG).
