Endotoxins can build up in pre-cut vegetables and undermine some of their benefits.
You may remember when I introduced the endotoxin theory literature in my video The Exogenous Endotoxin Theorywhich attempted to explain how a single Sausage and Egg McMuffin meal could hamstring artery function within hours of consumption. Maybe because such a meal causes inflammation within hours of consumption, causing low-grade endotoxemia, endotoxins in the bloodstream, as I mentioned earlier in my video Dead meat bacteria Endotoxemia. Endotoxins is structural components of gram-negative bacteria such as E. colias you can see below and at 0:35 in my video Are pre-cut vegetables just as healthy?. Certain foods, such as minced meat, I have high bacterial loads, so the thinking was that endotoxins in food were triggering the inflammation.
Critiques of the theory he argued that because we already have so many bacteria living in our colon, so many endotoxins just sitting in our colon, a few more endotoxins in our food wouldn’t matter much in terms of causing systemic inflammation. After all, we are I have about two pounds of pure bacteria down there where the sun don’t shine, so there could be about a whole ounce of endotoxin. The lethal intravenous dose of endotoxin can be just a few millionths of a gram, so we could have a million lethal doses down there. However, the apparent paradox is explained by segmentation. It’s location, location, location.
Cacao is harmless when in the large intestine, but should not be injected into your bloodstream or eaten for that matter, especially with fat, as this can promote the absorption of endotoxins in the small intestine. This also applies to well-cooked poop.
As you can see in the chart below and at 1:44 in mine videoYou can boiling endotoxins for two consecutive hours without impairing their ability to cause inflammation. You could easily kill any bacteria if you boiled your soup long enough, but you can’t kill the endotoxins they produce any more than you can. cook the crap from the meat. Eating feces-contaminated meat doesn’t just cause food poisoning. It can be shed on the animal’s skin during the evisceration process when the digestive tract is broken.
Even when slaughterhouse workers arrangement apart from “visible faecal contamination”, shearing itself can, ironically, sometimes lead to an increase in certain faecal bacteria, believed to be caused by “cross-contamination resulting from handling and removal of faecal contamination” from one carcass at the other. Then, even when properly refrigerated, endotoxins begin accumulation along with bacterial growth as you can see in the graph below and at 2:30 in my video.
What about other foods? The highest levels of endotoxins were were found in meat and dairy and the lowest levels in fresh fruit and vegetables. But this one was tasting whole fruits and vegetables. “Most altered organisms cannot penetrate the surface barrier of the plant and destroys the internal tissues’. That’s why fruits and vegetables can sit out in the fields all day in the sun. But, once you open them, bacteria can gain access to the inner tissues and, within a few days, your vegetables can begin to spoil. So what does this mean for all those convenient pre-cut vegetables these days?
While endotoxins were not detectable in the majority of untreated vegetables, once damage the protective outer layers of vegetables, reduce their resistance to microbial growth. So while fresh-cut carrots and onions start out with undetectable levels, day after day after they’re cut, you start to grow bacteria and, with it, endotoxin build-up — even if they’ve been refrigerated. refrigerator. Not as much as meat, but not insignificant either, as you can see in the chart below and at 3:27 in my video. Enough to make a difference, though? You don’t know until you try it.
What if changed individuals between foods that are expected to have a lower endotoxin load to foods that contain more endotoxins? For example, going from whole meat, like a steak, and whole fruits and vegetables, to more like minced meat, pre-cut vegetables, and more ready meals, as shown below and at 3:39 in my video. After just one week on a lower endotoxin diet, people’s white blood cell counts, a marker of whole-body inflammation, he fell by 12 percent, then increased by 14 percent after just four days on a higher endotoxin diet. They also lost a pound on the lower endotoxin diet and slimmed their waists a bit. 
However, they did not eat identical diets. It appears that they ate more meat and cheese on the higher endotoxin diet and perhaps took more food additives in the ready meals. So how do we know endotoxins had anything to do with it? That’s where the onion study comes in. Another study was designed based on two meals that differed in their content of bacterial products but were otherwise identical nutritionally. So the researchers compared freshly chopped onion with pre-chopped onion that had been refrigerated for a few days. The pre-cut onion was not spoiled. it was still before the “best before” date. So, would it make any difference?
Within three hours of consumption, the spring onion meal produced significant reductions in several markers of inflammation. That’s what fruits and vegetables do—they reduce inflammation—but these effects weren’t seen after eating pre-cut onions. For example, three hours after eating fresh chopped onions, the researchers saw a significant drop in inflammatory status, but there was no significant change three hours after eating the same amount of pre-chopped onions, as you can see in the graph below and at 5:06 in mine video. So it’s not that the pre-cut onions caused more inflammation, as in the meat, egg, and dairy studies, but it appeared that some of the onion’s anti-inflammatory effects disappeared. “In conclusion, the modern trend towards he eats minimally processed vegetables”—pre-cut vegetables—“and not whole [intact] Foods are likely to be associated with increased oral exposure to endotoxins.’ It’s still better to eat pre-cut vegetables than no vegetables at all, but cutting your own may be the healthiest.
