"Fortunately, what you eat — or don't eat — can profoundly affect inflammation. And that is important, because inflammation contributes to illnesses that are chronic, costly and corrode our quality of life. Inflammation is a silent killer. You don't see it or even feel it until after many years, when it can blossom into or contribute to full-blown problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, Alzheimer's or arthritis." [1]
"How do you know if you have chronic inflammation? Scientists look for "biomarkers" in the blood. These are biological signs that indicate the presence of inflammation and suggest increased disease risk. One of the most well-known is C-reactive protein (CRP), which correlates with heart attack risk and for which there is a clinical test available in your doctor's office." [1]
