" Reduced Disease Risk Factors: Ditching grains, sugars, other simple carbs, and processed foods, especially “bad fats” (trans and partially-hydrogenated), will reduce your production of hormone-like messengers that instruct genes to make harmful pro-inflammatory protein agents. These agents increase your risk for arthritis, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and many other inflammation-related health problems. "
