pretty sure a similar story was on radiolab too.
I believe interleukin is also made as a byproduct of the baking process in bread...where the crust has 8x higher concentration of interleukin than the other part of the bread. It is thought that bread crust can be a buffer in helping to reduce the chances of colon cancer.
I don't know though if interleukin-22 is the same as the interleukin made in the baking process.
