Dietary Sugars and Systemic Inflammation

Direct Impact: High intake of simple sugars (sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup) promotes systemic inflammation through several biochemical pathways.
Oxidative Stress: Excessive simple sugar consumption increases free radical production and oxidative stress, which triggers inflammatory signaling cascades in tissues.
Glycation End-Products: High blood glucose levels accelerate the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), promoting chronic inflammatory responses and cellular damage.
Microbiome Disruption: Simple sugars feed pro-inflammatory gut bacteria, altering the intestinal microbiome and increasing gut permeability (leaky gut), which allows endotoxins to enter the bloodstream and drive systemic inflammation.
Insulin Resistance: High sugar loads lead to chronic elevation of insulin and insulin resistance, a primary driver of low-grade systemic inflammation throughout the body.
