Those links led to University of South Carolina researchers developing a dietary inflammatory index — a measure of how much foods and its components may increase or decrease inflammation. Here’s some of foods.

The study found that breast cancer survivors who follow the most anti-inflammatory diet after diagnosis – one filled with whole grains, spices, healthy fats and vegetables – appear to have lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality than those survivors eating a Western-style pro-inflammatory diet.

It’s all about a healthy dietary pattern, say the researchers. You can read more about the study here.
