What constitutes an antiinflammatory diet? How does this contrast with a proinflammatory diet?James R. HébertDiet, Inflammation, and Health
diet with proinflammatory potential may cause changes in immunity and intestinal microbiota, leading to the inflammatory reaction that causes IBD-related lesions. The quality of available evidence is low, due to methodological issues, such as the lack of intervention studies, small sample size and ...
Other factors such as diet (i.e. breastfeeding vs. formula feeding), siblings, pets and the natural environment also contribute in shaping the infant's microbiota and immune system but the identification of their individual contribution is challenging due to the presence of many confounders. ...
Many physicians still believe that a low-fat diet is the healthiest food choice, and the most effective one to reduce the risk of heart disease. This assumption is based on the diet-heart hypothesis suggesting that high consumption of fats, saturated fats, in particular, will increase blood le...
Interestingly, cachexia is not simply characterized by increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, but rather by an increase in the ratio between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines [50,51]. As a consequence, the evaluation of serum cytokines should be extended to both catego...
2. What is the main cause of visceral fat? The main causes of visceral fat accumulation include poor dietary choices, sedentary lifestyle, genetic factors, hormonal changes, and chronic stress. Consuming a diet high in processed foods, added sugars, and unhealthy fats can contribute to the buil...
A Mediterranean diet is also associated with prevention of diabetic retinopathy development. The PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study showed that a Mediterranean diet enhanced with extra virgin olive oil reduced the risk of incident diabetic retinopathy by 40% [30]. Extra virgin olive ...
It wasn’t until the Burrs conducted follow-up studies that ththey were able to answer the question, “Is fish oil good for the skin?” They methodically reintroduced fats back into the diet. It was through this project the Burrs discovered that polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) reversed the cli...

Finally, the “infective lymphoid recovery” hypothesis proposes that infective stress, triggering the heat shock response in infancy, stimulates proinflammatory cytokines and inhibits apoptosis. This, in turn, leads to a decline in antitumor immunity and in B-cell maturation arrest. This hypothesis ...
