HOW FOOD BECOMES INFORMATION

We’re used to thinking of food simply as fuel. It goes in one end, the body breaks it down, the protein goes to our muscles, the carbohydrate gives us energy, the fat goes to our thighs, bum and belly, then all the stuff it doesn’t want is deposited out the other end. We’re not used to thinking of that cheese-and-pickle baguette as something akin to a radio station or a book. But, effectively, that’s what it is. The body reads information from that baguette then sends it to the brain. The nature of that information is the result of a three-way interaction between your food, the bugs that live in your gut and your immune system. Whenever you eat, those three systems talk to each other. The conclusion of all that complex biological chatter is then sent to the brain. It’s information, telling it whether or not the body is under attack from bad food.
