                                According to a study published in *Frontiers in Nutrition*, the fermentation process used to make sourdough can significantly alter cereal components, producing compounds with potent anti-inflammatory properties. This raises a critical question for those with chronic inflammatory conditions: **Does sourdough cause inflammation?** In fact, the evidence points toward sourdough being beneficial for many, not inflammatory, due to its unique fermentation process.
