In the middle of the book on page 69, Dr. Axe discusses food and inflammation; he reports that a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming hydrogenated oils greatly increases inflammation throughout the entire body. One fact that really grasped my attention when reading the book was the research he provided by a study in Nutrition and Cancer demonstrated that people who consume processed meats have a greater risk of cancer and in 2015, the Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) categorized processed meat as equivalent to cigarettes and asbestos in terms of cancer risk.

I found the information in this chapter extremely valuable and effective.
