list foods with anti-inflammatory ranking

Hi All,

I got this from a friend this afternoon: a 57 page long list with foods and their anti-inflammatory rating.
tinyurl.com/l6dveot

These are the ranges that go with the list:
200 or higher | strongly anti-inflammatory
101 to 200 | Moderately anti-inflammatory
0 to 100 | Mildly anti-inflammatory
-1 to -100 | Mildly inflammatory
-101 to 200 | Moderately inflammatory
-201 or lower | Strongly inflammatory

Good info. Thanks!

I read this today: http://foodbabe.com/2012/05/22/watch-out-for-this-carcinogen-in-your-organic-food/

The article talks about how "Carrageenan is being added to ORGANIC foods, causing issues with severe INFLAMMATION.

In specific studies they showed that food safe and approved “undergraded” carrageenan is contaminated with the non-approved degraded carrageenan.

Furthermore, when you ingest the undergraded version, it actually starts to degrade in the gastrointestinal tract and in the liver and turn into a carcinogen,

resulting in a serious inflammatory agent that also can cause intestinal abnormalities.

Because of this reason and other studies conducted
the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer and
the National Research Council of the United States
both have determined that carrageenan is a carcinogen –
a substance that causes cancer."

I thought this quite relevent considering the lengths we go to purchase foods that are 'safe' for us to eat, and NOT causing more inflammation.

Awesome list! Thank you for posting!

Question... I don't like spicy foods. Do you think taking a chilli or cayenne pepper supplement would also be beneficial?

LOL! I was just thinking the same thing, Garden Peace!

Thanks MarieLS!!!

wow… just wow…
I was shocked by several foods!
I guess fish, in general, is so high because of high metals?

And I am confused by the salmon oil! But…I take a lot of it and I'm definitely going to talk w/ my ND about it—maybe I should stop.

GREAT thread!
