Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Inflammation Nation : The First Clinically Proven Eating Plan to End Our Nation's Secret Epidemic by Floyd H. Chilton, Tucker This is a book just published in 2005 that claims that diet influences inflammation and is important in several diseases, including RA and diabetes, both of which I have. I certainly know that diet affects diabetes tremendously, because diabetics cannot metabolize carbohydrates sufficiently, but I tend to be skeptical that diet has a great influence on RA. However, the idea is intriguing, and I would like to read this book just to see what he says. Dr. Chilton is considered to be an expert in the field of fatty acids, and he apparently has conducted clinical trials to prove his theories. He is a professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, along with my endo and my rheumy. But with all of his credentials, I remain skeptical. If any of you has read the book, please give us a book report. I don't want to have to buy it, but if I can find it in the library, I'll check it out. If you google " Inflammation Nation " you'll get lots of hits. The Amazon.com site has a portion of the first chapter available. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
