Inflammation is worse than I thought.

    Interesting, thanks!

    I need to read some of the underlying research.

    Great; I'm counting on folks with an appropriate background to digest the details.

    It's been a fascinating research area I've been following along from the cheap seats along the sidelines for about a decade and a half.

    There has been some research here in the UK about how sugar consumption aggravates asthma symptoms by creating an inflammatory response - I know myself that mine is worse after a lot (and I mean a lot) of sugar. Is this inflammation causal or an aggravating factor ? This article states that “Chronic inflammation is uniformly damaging and is absolutely causal to the process, because if you interfere with it, you can reverse the pathology.” I still have asthma, I just dont have these specific symptoms if I manage my sugar consumption.

    That was fascinating. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Exercise is known to greatly improve symptoms - as is omega-3. Now I know why. I already try to exercise 2 hours a day. Now I will focus more on adding omega-3 to my diet. Thank you for sharing.

    Low level chronic inflammation is an interesting idea. If you have ever had a significant injury (like say a back compression fracture) which takes months to heal you know that low level pain which eventually just you don't even realize is there. I can specifically remember taking some pain meds one time for it and thinking to myself. WOW. I didn't even know it was STILL there but the absence of it was remarkable.

    Yeah, I might start as well. There's a lot of diabetes and coronary heart disease on my father's side of the family and all sorts of autoimmune disorders on my mom's side. I got the ai ones already and would rather stay with looks, rather than diseases from my dad to be honest.
