IMHO this is the key point.
“The intricate link between inflammation and modern chronic diseases is rooted in our evolutionary history. In order to survive infections, famine, and other dangers in brutish ancestral times, we developed hyperactive immune systems and insulin-resistant bodies adept at storing fat. But our modern environment has been markedly transformed, from the food we eat to the air we breathe, how we move and more. Our immune system is exceptionally sensitive to the triggers of this new world, portending a higher risk of chronic, hidden inflammation.”
Evolution takes a long time. And some of our immune system has been evolving since our reptile brain stem. As modern life changes and our social behaviors evolve much more rapidly than than biological evolution, we carry a lot of immune responses that aren’t always appropriate.
