Yes it’s about added sugar which seems to be in almost any food you can buy in the US. Some years ago I developed something like an allergy against sugar. It gives me headaches, joint pain and almost fever like symptoms if I get too much. It’s mind boggling to go shopping and read nutrition labels and realizing that almost every good is sweetened in some way.

Sounds like the start of an autoimmune disease. Lupus, Sjogrens, rheumatoid, etc

Popular treatment is to eliminate sugar as a starting point. Then move onto other inflammatory foods.

That’s what I am doing and it works well. It’s just amazing how many foods have added sugar. Even whole wheat bread is sugared up like crazy.
