>>I'd suggest to you that ten years from now no one will even know what the "Inflammation Factor" was.<< while i can't speak to the accuracy of the creator of that particular metric, i can do believe the data supports that anti-inflammatory diet is not only not going anywhere, it is saving lives, improving healthy, reducing pain and helping athletes win gold medals today. the diet that showed an 83% reduction in diabetes didn't contain much dairy. medpagetoday.com cme.medscape.com the people eating lots of dairy had 5x the diabetes cases. of course, what does a study of 13k people mean when your study of one showed showed cholesterol stays low when one eats lots eggs? just like smoking isn't bad for you because someone has a dad who smoked their whole life and lived to a ripe old age, right? gotta love "science" practiced at its best! btw, i agree the data on cholesterol is weak. 50% of heart attack sufferers have normal cholesterol and 25% of heart attack sufferers have zero traditional risk factors. after 70 years of age, there is zero correlation between cholesterol level and heart attacks. the data also shows that the best drug against heart attacks is aspirin - and anti-inflammatory with zero impact on cholesterol. for those with logical abilities, there is a clue as to a significant root cause of heart disease. >>A Mediterranean diet is terrific and contains plenty of eggs.<< the data shows that the high in egg yolk version resulted in significantly higher levels of diabetes. once you know what arachidonic acid does, you'll understand the mechanism/ as an anecdotal aside, fwiw, i had a friend who wouldn't go near eggs due to ulcer pain. when i made her eggs using egg white egg substitute, no problem. this is the same friend who spent $10k out of pocket to image her back to see if they could identify the cause of half decade long back pain. an anti-inflammatory diet enabled her to eliminate her back pain within 36 hours (slept on back for first time in 5 years) and she was off her ulcer medication within 4 days. her exact quote to me was, "i can't believe it, the inflammation is gone!" i never used the term inflammation when discussing this diet with her. she didn't have to be told. she felt it.
