Also take note that the stuff that causes the highest types of inflammation are actually the worst types of food. Processed foods and refined sugars. This could be a total coincidence of course but i think that's a highly unlikely scenario. 

 I think the hypothesis that these "bad foods" cause inflammation is a good one.  But there are counter examples where pro-inflammatory foods are known to be long-term healthy.  Unfortunately humans are just way too complex to get good clear answers on sweeping generalizations like this. 

 Yes exactly. There is too much money to be made in this business which opens the doors to the same problems we see in the pharmaceutical industry.  

 Good point. From that link: "If you have a condition that causes chronic inflammation, it may ease some of your symptoms." I think I said something like that.  Their list autoimmune diseases and inflammatory bowel disease -- I also listed both of those in my note. That page is far more complete.

It happens to be that most anti-inflammatory foods are associated with preventing chronic diseases. But it isn't clear that this is the mechanism. What we know is what they say in their Takeaway section "there’s some evidence it may lessen symptoms caused by conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease."

My point was really that people shouldn't demonize a food otherwise known to be healthy just because it happens to be pro-inflammatory.  That this pro/anti inflammatory thing has been taken too far IMHO.
