Sustainable Cherry Hill’s Green Task Force will host a Summer Book Discussion at 7 p.m., July 20, at Inkwood Books, in Haddonfield. Dr. Josh Axe, author of Eat Dirt, will be onhand to discuss the relationship between food and autoimmune disease.

To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome.

Eat Dirt explores how modern improvements to our food supply, such as refrigeration, sanitation and modified grain, have damaged our intestinal health and what steps can be taken to improve upon our health. Axe will discuss the prevalence of leaky gut syndrome, celiac disease, Crohn’s and Colitis at this free event.
