DESCRIPTION: The equivalent of eating a single walnut half per day appeared to cut the risk of dying from inflammatory disease in about half, whereas fish did not appear to play a protective role. That may be why people eating vegetarian foods have lower levels of inflammation and chronic disease risk. This is the second of a three-part series on the latest discoveries about fighting inflammation with plant foods. See yesterday’s video-of-the-day, Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Purple Potatoes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-inflammatory-effects-of-purple-potatoes/) for part one. Other recent videos on nuts include Eating Healthy on the Cheap (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-healthy-on-the-cheap/), Harvard’s Meat and Mortality Studies (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2012/03/15/harvards-meat-and-mortality-studies/), and Plant-Based Atkins Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-atkins-diet/). Unlike nuts, industrial pollutants present in fish oil supplements may even increase inflammation in the body—see Is Distilled Fish Oil Toxin-Free? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-distilled-fish-oil-toxin-free/). The anti-inflammatory nature of plant foods may explain why those eating plant-based diets have less diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-macular-degeneration-with-diet/), fewer allergies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-allergies-in-adulthood/), less heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/), better moods (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-mood-through-diet/), and fewer chronic diseases in general (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/say-no-to-drugs-by-saying-yes-to-more-plants/). There are over a hundred videos on plant-based diets alone (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/plant-based-diets/), along with videos on a thousand other topics at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.<
We know plant-based diets can help prevent inflammatory disease, but to see if plant-based diets can be used to treat it, you’ve got to put it to the test. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day Achieving Remission of Crohn’s Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/achieving-remission-of-crohns-disease/).

hey all those links in the description doesn't include the link to this actual video on ur site (i wanna go and read comments)
You have cornered the market on Health "Cliff Notes"; and we love you!
SO…which nut fights inflammation the most?
We all know that a handful a day of nuts is very healthy and reduces inflammation. My problem is that I have a little bit more than just a handful…
why no comment of Greger to this statement of the study "this observation[reduced risk of inflammatory disease mortality] was not observed in men" (in 'Results') ???
I love this channel!
