Arthritis is an autoimmune disease. Other diseases that fall into this category are Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis and Diabetes. In an autoimmune disease, the cells of the body that offer protection for some reason turn against the body. No one knows why this happens, and there is no cure for these diseases. While nutrition may be key in some arthritis patients, there is no proven link between nutrition and the cause. Some nutritionists and homeopathic health practitioners do believe, however, that the chemicals in processed foods may contribute to the cause of autoimmune diseases.
