Joint deformity may be caused by the bacteria in your fridge
The University of Central Florida recently released a study stating that bacteria may play a role in developing rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in people whose genes make them more susceptible to the disease. Bacteria can be ingested through the consumption of beef, milk, and other dairy products.
In summary, the study found that specific genes, when mutated, can cause an overactive immune system because the PTPN2/22 protein will not function as it should. Therefore, we ought to be cautious of our consumption of the food items mentioned in the study since there is a chance that our genes may make us predisposed to developing autoimmune disorders.
