Thank you for the article, but inflammation I believe is not just due to the foods you are eating but also how those foods have been grown or fed. You may eat a plant based diet( I am vegan) but if it has been sprayed with all the chemicals farmers now use, then those chemicals in our bodies can become a source of inflammation & attack the immune system. If the chicken you just ate was full of antibiotics & fed foods grown with pesticides, also a source for inflammation. If the meat you ate is full of antibiotics & Growth Hormones, that can be a source of inflammation.
Obviously we all cannot grow our own food or buy organic. What we must do is to try to pass laws that make our food supply safer & our water less chemically treated.
Thank you for sharing.
Great information I must say. Inflammtion could also bo control with balance diet and proper use of herbs. Inflammotion supplement is available on internet. It is producing great results against inflammation. You can visit http://www.inflammotion.com for more info on that.
Noted with interest.

Don't agree with limiting full fat dairy if it is replaced with low fat. It is about the process and how it alters the food. Explained well by Michael Pollan in "In Defense of Food". When the fat is removed, more sinister products are added.
Thanks.
