Relying on the combinatorial classification of toric ideals using their bouquet structure, we focus on toric ideals of hypergraphs and study how they relate to general toric ideals. We show that hypergraphs exhibit a surprisingly general behavior: the toric ideal associated to any general matrix can be encoded by that of a $0/1$ matrix, while preserving the essential combinatorics of the original ideal. We provide two universality results about the unboundedness of degrees of various generating sets: minimal, Graver, universal Grobner bases, and indispensable binomials. Finally, we provide a polarization-type operation for arbitrary positively graded toric ideals, which preserves all the combinatorial signatures and the homological properties of the original toric ideal.
