The Claim
Prolonged restriction of dietary starches and added sugars reduces fermentable substrate availability for gut microbiota, which in turn lowers endotoxin production and systemic inflammatory markers associated with autoimmune dysregulation.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you cut out starchy foods and sugary snacks for a long time, the good bacteria in your gut have less to feed on, which may lead to less harmful toxins and less body-wide inflammation that's linked to autoimmune problems.

Prolonged restriction of dietary starches and added sugars reduces fermentable substrate availability for gut microbiota, lowering endotoxin production and systemic inflammatory markers associated with autoimmune dysregulation.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Added sugars, gut microbiota, and host health
Eating too much sugar messes up the good bacteria in your gut, which can let harmful substances leak into your blood and cause inflammation. So, cutting back on sugar helps keep your gut healthy and reduces inflammation.
