So Many Anti-inflammatory Products to Chose From

I am amazed at all the anti-inflammatory foods posted by my fellow classmates in this forum. I did some websuring just to see what other unusual things are claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Suprisingly and to my relief, I found that grass fed beef (as opposed to grain-fed) and other animal foods may offer some protection from inflammation. Meat from grass-fed animals supposedly has more omega-3 fatty acids while meat from grain-fed has none, but is not lacking in saturated fat. http://www.dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowContent/food_and_nutrition/top_10_anti_inflammatory_foods.html

Ashley F. mentioned green tea in her blog, but I am a white tea and aloe vera juice junkie.
There isn’t much difference between green and white tea. Tea leaves destined for white are just harvested earlier than green tea(before the leaves open). I have a preference for white tea because it tastes purer than its green counterpart, has less caffeine, and it undergoes less processing than green tea, therefore it retains much of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is indicated for reduction of the inflammation associated with arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and skin diseases such as psoriasis. Unfortunately, scientific evidence of the anti-inflammatory benefits of white tea is very limited and is only based on consumption in cultural population.

Unfortunately, like the info on grass-fed livestock, I could not find any primary literature on aloe vera products. What I did find was that aloe vera juice (according to studies I couldn’t find) regulates some components of the Immune system by reducing the incidence of inflammation in the kidneys, and digestive tract, reducing blood flow to tumors, and preventing carcinogens from entering the liver. http://www.ageless.co.za/herb-aloe.htm

I am saddened by the fact that there is so mch hype about foods with anti-inflammatory properties, but not many physicians are taking heed to these benefits and are very quick to prescribe a pill. Instead they should place heavy emphasis on diet and lifestlye changes (if one's physical health can be salvaged-which is almost always the case).
