The damage inside your cells causes a quiet, constant swelling that hurts your heart, liver, and genes without you feeling it.
Scientific Claim
Lipid peroxidation in cell membranes triggers chronic low-grade systemic inflammation that damages vascular endothelium, parenchymal organs, and nuclear DNA.
Original Statement
“This triggers chronic low-grade inflammation throughout your entire body. Now, this inflammation, it's not inflammation you can feel. It's not like a swollen ankle. It's the kind that silently damages your blood vessels, your organs, and your DNA.”

The Association of Childhood Maltreatment With Lipid Peroxidation and DNA Damage in Postpartum Women
The study found that women who had tough childhoods had more of a chemical sign of fat damage in their blood, but it didn’t show that this damage caused long-term inflammation or hurt their organs or DNA, so it doesn’t prove the claim.
