UTMB's Dr. Victor Sierpina is quoted in this article about diets that help reduce inflammation. "Inflammation is a hidden factor in many, many chronic diseases - we call it silent inflammation," Sierpina said. "Those conditions include diabetes, heart disease, dementia, obesity and certain forms of arthritis. When we have a silent inflammation in the body, it makes all of those conditions either chronic or worse."
