I'm not smart enough to judge the credibility of this inflammatory index.
It's just another theory......maybe a fad.
But still, it's food for thought.

Thanks Iggy - I'm surprised about the beef roast and prunes.
Not happy w/the Rice Bran Oil and Coconut Oil.

Thanks for this post Iggy! I've been taking coconut oil, a spoonful a day for many months now, and I've also been giving some to my dog...will not continue this practice if it's inflammatory

Also eat a non-fat yogurt daily thinking it was a good thing, don't want to ingest foods for health reasons if they're causing inflammation!

Some inflammation is good for you. It is the body's response to viral attack, for one thing. Coconut oil is an anti-viral. Maybe that is due to its inflammatory nature. It is helping the immune system to deal with virus and bacteria.

It's a balancing act. Suppressing inflammation during a cold, can perhaps lengthen the duration.

Very true. Anti-inflammatories are needed, and very much healthy.
