Pizza
Most pizzas contain cheese, both of which are the main sources of saturated fats in the US. Pizza is an inflammatory food; hence, it may worsen arthritis symptoms and increase the risk of developing heart problems. It tends to spike LDL cholesterol levels and clog arteries, which leads to heart attacks and stroke.
MSG & Gluten
Most food companies feel the need to include a “No MSG” or “No Gluten” clause on their product description to allay customers’ fears due to the health risks associated with these substances.
Mono-sodium glutamate (MSG) is mostly found in Asian foods to enhance the taste. Asides from the many adverse reactions to this substance, such as nausea, heart palpitations, and headache, there is a more dangerous reaction, which is inflammation. MSG has been linked to chronic inflammations and to worsen symptoms of arthritis and age-related bone problems. Gluten, on the other hand, causes inflammation in the body as an allergic reaction. This reaction is a condition called celiac disease and it occurs when lining of the small intestine gets inflamed. [6]
