A complex inflammatory condition resulting from chronic consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) characterized by systemic inflammation, gut barrier dysfunction, metabolic endotoxemia, and immune dysregulation. UPFs undergo extensive industrial processing with additives that disrupt normal physiological processes through multiple interconnected pathways including NF-κB activation, microbiome destruction, intestinal permeability, and autoimmune priming.
