Not Another Anti-Inflammatory Diet Book
Honestly checking “chronic inflammation”, inflammaging, and the foods-cause-inflammation panic — no supplements to sell.
“Inflammation” has become the word wellness pins on everything, then sells you the fix — a diet, a powder, an at-home test. But the word on a cookbook and the word in a diagnosis are two different animals. This is the calm, checked version: what the science actually says, and the one chapter that could genuinely matter.
Inside the book
- Two things wear the same word — the acute response that heals you, and the low-grade state you can't even feel
- Six claims on trial (anti-inflammatory diets, single-food villains, CRP-lowering, inflammaging, at-home tests) — and why each over-reaches a real kernel
- The five beliefs that can actually hurt you — worst first — starting with treating a real autoimmune disease with food instead of a doctor
- When it's not a wellness word: RA, IBD and lupus are real, and the red-flag symptoms that mean see a GP, not change your diet
- What genuinely moves the needle — free, un-sellable, evidence-graded — and a plain appendix of every claim that didn't survive
The honest part
A machine wrote this book. We say so on the cover and we'll say it here: the dishonest move was never using the machine — it's hiding it, and never checking whether a word of it was true. So a practising doctor read every page and threw out what didn't hold up. Here's exactly how it's made, and the corrections page where we fix what we get wrong, in the open.
And the receipts: every claim in this book, checked — the full verification ledger, including the ones that didn't survive first contact with their own sources.
