                                According to the World Health Organization, an unhealthy diet high in processed foods is a leading global health risk, potentially fueling chronic inflammation. This leads many to question: **do sauces cause inflammation**? The short answer is that while a sauce itself isn’t inherently inflammatory, many processed, store-bought varieties contain ingredients that can trigger and exacerbate the body's inflammatory response.
