NutritionFacts.org: Mushrooms can Boost Immunity & Reduce Inflammation
Friday, May 31st, 2013Dr. Michael Greger has an interesting video on mushrooms, allergies, cancer, and inflammation over at NutritionFacts.org.
A 2012 study suggests that eating mushrooms can increase the body’s secretion of IgA, which can scavenge unwanted invaders on the surface of our digestive tract. It doesn’t appear that the study measured any outcomes other than IgA production, but it would be interesting to know if eating mushrooms regularly would decrease allergies and colds.
