Northern Exile Sep 2021 8:23pm, 24 Sep 2021 7,979 posts	0 Northern Exile It's highly subjective Steve. It's your inflammatory response to a given foodstuff, however enough data has been gathered to point to certain foods that have a higher inflammatory response than others when averaged out. Interestingly, very few people have a high Inflammatory response to meat. I guess that goes back to our hunter-gatherer origins.
