How to Tackle the Relationship between Autoimmune Diseases and Diet: Well Begun Is Half-Done

Nutrition and immunity are closely related, and the immune system is composed of the most highly energy-consuming cells in the body. Much of the immune system is located within the GI tract, since it must deal with the huge antigenic load introduced with food. Moreover, the incidence of immune-media...
