🔬 Why Are These Foods Forbidden?

🔥

Triggers Inflammation

Commercial chicken and eggs contain omega-6 fatty acids that activate chronic inflammation pathways

🦠

Weakens the Gut

Coarse fiber and gluten irritate the intestinal lining, weaken the gut wall, and increase intestinal permeability

📈

Raises Insulin

White flour and refined sugar spike blood sugar sharply, straining the insulin system

⚗️

Chemical Load

Commercial chicken contains antibiotics and growth hormones that accumulate in the body
