oily fish (which contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids)

higher levels compared to what, exactly? How much more?96.24.93.114 (talk) 03:13, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When compared to other fish. --Khajidha (talk) 17:59, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More info on diet

There is lots of information on the Internet about anti-inflammatory diets. Only a small bit made it to Wikipedia. I would love it if someone qualified would expand this section and perhaps create an article. Some question I have:

Why do refined carbs cause inflammation? What about whole grains?
What is the mechanism for any food to cause inflammation? Does it happen during digestion or metabolism?
Why are saturated fats inflammatory?
Why are omega 3s anti-inflammatory? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.27.127.42 (talk) 16:11, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of information available on the internet but some is not considered to come from reliable sources. Dr Wells's Food Pyramid is not an obvious reliable source. jmcw (talk) 16:55, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The whole Anti-inflammatory foods section is poorly sourced and much of the content will have to go unless WP:MEDRS quality sources are provided. - - MrBill3 (talk) 04:03, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Steroidal?

This article doesn't cover the Glucocorticoids at all, only the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. Why? Shouldn't there be a section or at least a hat note? Yngvadottir (talk) 05:46, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think that'd make sense to include (coincidentally, that what I was interested in reading about). It would certainly help create a more thorough context as those two are the most significant classes of anti-inflammatory drugs. Well, I assume they are, but I'm no doctor. ☉ nbmatt 02:40, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

is inflammation a cause of problem or a side effect of "problem solving"?

the article seems to skip the question, whether anti-inflammatory substances make one healthier or sicker. while it feels like a tacit assumption throughout the text that it is "good" to supress the inflammatory function of the immune system, it also feels intuitively wrong to oppress the immune system's effort to retain the healthy state of the body.

after reading the article this question is still standing: is "anti-inflammatory" a blanket term for both substances that sabotage the inflammation immune answer to a threat and substances that relieve the inflammation by getting rid of the threat that caused it? if so, a distinction would be quite helpful for a better understanding. 80.98.79.37 (talk) 09:10, 29 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Contradiction

The article both states that Paracetamol IS and IS NOT anti-inflammatory. The article ON Paracetamol itself states that it is not.

“Many modern analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents (ex. paracetamol, “

“there are analgesics that are commonly associated with anti-inflammatory drugs but that have no anti-inflammatory effects. An example is paracetamol “ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krabat (talk • contribs) 11:17, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
