parasites are made out of chitin so it sets off an immune response in most people

The actual relationship is very confusing. Chitin triggers inflammation. But small particles of chitin are instead anti-inflammatory because they indicate that chitin has been broken down. Inflammation can be good or bad for cancer depending on the stage that cancer is in. The main effect here seems to be that the inflammation triggered by chitin supports the epithelial to mesenchymal transition of cancer tumors.

Chitin is the mushroom/insect equivalent of keratin. It’s not going to hurt you any more than eating a fingernail much less cause cancer like what >>16292426 is saying. Humans have two chitinase enzymes specifically for digesting it. Hunter gatherers have been eating bugs and mushrooms for millennia, they’re still going strong. Does that make bugs particularly appetising? No

lol, its funny because its true. about a quarter of a century ago the science community was all screeching about how healthy pomegranates and pomegranate juice was and the whole trend could be traced back to the fact that some hollywood jew in LA had inherited a fairly small pomegranate orchard in Riverside or that area and had decided to make it turn a bigger profit by advertising pomegranates in the scientific press and then paying off MSMs to give wider coverage to the scientific publications he had purchased

They're high in polyphenols and catechins, with some of those within having a lot of antibiotic and antiviral effects. It would be one thing if his orchard were the only source they were using.

TLDR
Ignore everyone in the thread.
Chitin is an immunomodulator and a decently potent allergen.
It causes inflammation and excess oxidative stress. (Though certain molecules like chitosan or broken down chitin could potentially do the reverse as they may either signal a successful step in the healing process or alternatively may donate useful functional groups.)
Also be aware that some chitin is bound to proteins in respective species.
Humans didn't eat bugs 99% of the time, back when hunting large animals was fairly trivial.
However we did go through an entire epoch of eating decaying flesh, which is highly prone to infection with various pests and parasites, which produce chitin. Our immune systems, as well as other physiology, like our digestive systems developed accordingly.
So don't eat it.

Because they want you to eat bugs because they are steered by industry with money like mosquitos to outdoor lamps and eating bugs makes the industry more money, while you become more miserable, physically pathetic and slave-like.

Polyphenols are nothing more than plant poisons. Our body doesn't need them and it doesn't want them, therefore tries to absorb as little as possible. If you want antioxidants, then you need to make them yourself, in your cells.
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, for instance.
You can raise it by eating enough glycine, taurine, cysteine, etc., by avoiding sugar, seed oils, by exercising, by fasting and so on.
Even just eating a good portion of stearic acid as found in animal fat should reduce oxidation because it stimulates mitochondria with its useful byproducts.
Eating a vegetable will do jack shit for oxidative stress, but it will irritate your intestinal lining.

How do you think digestion works? "Inflammation" is a meme word that everyone auto assumes is bad, similarly to "cortisol" or "stress".

If by that you mean that I've plundered many a research article and studies regarding catechins and polyphenols (note that this was mostly Epigallocatechin-3-gallate and I stumbled onto gallic acid a few weeks ago out of curiosity rabbitholes), then I'm repeating information. None of this was on an individual's particular product line of fruit.
It's called having curiosity and nuance, and understanding that there's plenty of things in nutrition science that is bullshit because of lobbying and dishonesty. Your opinions on carnivore exclusive dieting are as sound as any faggot vegan's. You will not change my mind.

Well, the belligerent fucktard made the point that because "fruit is toxic" and therefore fructose is, hfcs (high fructose CORN syrup) is also toxic.
It's sort of hilarious watching people claw at all of these various diets, making claims based around what the guru they follow believes humans were evolved to eat. Using evolution as a baseline for modern humans can't apply, not when the grand majority of man-made substances we're exposed to can alter gut microbiota and even our own DNA.
Baking soda water is a new fun one. Altering your digestive pH sounds like a great idea. Fuck up how your medication and supps are absorbed and their half lives, make your stomach acid more hospitable to shit like C. diff. We live in a society.
