Does Sugar Cause Inflammation in Menopause? A Dietitian Explains

Does sugar cause inflammation in menopause? In this video I break down the most common myths about sugar, seed oils and inflammation, and share what the evidence says can help with chronic pain in perimenopause and menopause. You'll hear: • The difference between pain and inflammation (and why they aren't always linked) • Why eating enough matters for healing and repair • How fiber and your gut bacteria connect to pain and inflammation • Omega-3 fats, and why you don't need to fear seed oils • Why your body can't tell if the glucose it's using comes from chocolate or a carrot • Why your overall pattern of eating matters more than any single food I'm Jenn Salib Huber, a registered dietitian, naturopathic doctor and author of Eat to Thrive During Menopause.
