An anti-inflammatory response to the vegan diet

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who eat a gluten-free vegan diet
could be better protected against heart attacks and stroke. RA is a
major risk factor for these cardiovascular diseases, but a gluten-free
vegan diet was shown to lower cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
and oxidizedLDL (OxLDL), as well as raising the levels of natural
antibodies against the damaging compounds in the body that cause
symptoms of the chronic inflammatory disease rheumatoid arthritis, such
as phosphorylcholine. These findings are reported today in the open
access journal Arthritis Research & Therapy.
