Reintroducing refined starch activated immune and metabolic pathways, increased adipsin\/complement signaling, and produced activation signatures across NK cells, monocytes, T cells, dendritic cells &amp;amp; neutrophils. \ud83e\uddec\ud83d\udd25 \ud83d\udca1 Take-home: Carbohydrate quality may matter as much as quantity when considering immunometabolic effects. \u26a0\ufe0f Small, selected cohort; clinical consequences remain uncertain.
