Re: Re: Vitamins and anti-inflammatories

Just to reinforce that thought, a look at the top anti-inflammatory foods, shows a lot of things we commonly eat. From Duke's (now getting old) database.

Oregano is tops with 32 chemicals, Carrot with 27.

Thyme, Fennel, Rosemary,Thyme, Black Currant, Grapefruit, Tea, Tomato, Licorice, Onion, Paprika (sweet red pepper), Cilantro fruit (coriander), Soybean, Chili pepper, Grape, Tarragon, Avocado, Macadamia, Pistachio, Walnut, Cucumber, Peanut, Sunflower Seed, Cashew.

Chemicals, not found in MV. Much attention has been paid to antioxidants, little to anti-inflammatories.
