Poison/"Vitamin A" as a cause of leaky gut aka intestinal permeability

Remember, "chemical peels" are retinoic acid (Poison/"Vitamin A").  They're pretty rough on the skin, right?  What do you think that is capable of doing to your gut???

Retinoic acid-primed human dendritic cells inhibit Th9 cells and induce Th1/Th17 cell differentiation.

Experiments with naïve CD4(+) T cells, activated in the presence of Th1/Th17 conditions and absence of DCs, indicated that retinoic acid inhibited IFN-γ and IL-17 expression on T cells. These data revealed that in the face of inflammatory conditions, retinoic acid, in contrast from its anti-inflammatory role, could maintain or aggravate the intestinal inflammation.

So, maybe "eating the rainbow", taking cod liver oil, lots of yellow/orange/red fruits and veggies AREN'T so great for your guts after all.
