The root cause of inflammation should be addressed rather than suppressed with anti-inflammatory supplements like turmeric.

◐Partially SupportedChronic smoldering inflammation is likely an issue triggered by an underlying cause.

◐Partially SupportedCommon measures of inflammation include hs-CRP, ESR, fibrinogen, ferritin, and interleukin-6.

✕Not SupportedPlant-based compounds may upregulate endogenous antioxidants, but the benefit of this is uncertain.

◐Partially SupportedA vegan diet was associated with lower inflammation, as measured by hs-CRP, compared to the American Heart Association diet.

◐Partially SupportedAn hs-CRP level of 1 may indicate smoldering inflammation.

◐Partially SupportedFibrinogen levels were at the low end of normal (mid-200s) on an entirely animal-based diet.

◐Partially SupportedFerritin levels slightly over 100 on an animal-based diet indicate adequate iron stores without excess.

✕Not SupportedThe claim that vegan diets are less inflammatory than an American Heart Association diet is not rigorously supported by science.
