Re: FW: FW: a reason diabetes is an inflammatory disorder
> Now we can have only one scientist with the right info?
One scientist has published more detailed information, verified by actual
clinical research. The others did a fair amount of shooting in the dark based
what details they had and assumption. Dr. Chilton refers to instances in
which they purvey incorrect information based on incomplete data.
Undoubtably if the other scientists had the funding they could repeat Dr.
Chilton’s work. At the time, Chilton had the funding so he went ahead and
was the first to do this research properly and publish his results.
The data does not invalidate earlier work but it does add the scientific detail
we needed.
I don’t think anyone proclaimed anything; Chilton’s book is quite clear
on exactly where the advice that turned out to be detrimental to health
is incorrect, and why. Again, previous lack of detail was a problem.
Actually farmed trout is better EFA-wise than wild, and Chilton’s book
makes that distinction.
No, but Chilton produces diet plans that balance the fatty acids in all that
you eat.
The exact amount of inflammatory effect of each plant can be determined;
this facilitates balancing the inflammatory equation, which in the past was
done by guesswork in absence of this data.
Before he did this series of studies, Chilton was internationally reknowned
as a researcher and he is an essential fatty acids expert. Because of his
depth of knowledge he doesn’t have to make sweeping statements based
on incomplete data and assumptions and this is one of the things that make
his particular book, Inflammation Nation, so useful.
That assumption, particularly with regard to age and weight and essential
fatty acid balance, is specifically exposed by Dr. Chilton.
Right, and that’s why he chose to undermine the inflammatory process
by balancing the triggering factors rather than by blocking the inflammatory
process after it was started. Not wanting his approach because of some
earlier research he conducted is nothing more han prejudicial. Another way
to look at it is that the side effects drugs have gave him insight into how to
improve on the drug approach. I think it’s commendable that he went
ahead and spent his grant money on this research.
Right, and if you needed these details for every common food would you
guess them or get actual data plus a clinically-measured response in real
people? Dr. Chilton’s book Inflammation Nation removes the guesswork.

Who is "they"?
So far I have not seen holes in other researchers’ work that *I* have used.
I’m not into this scientist bashing without names, it needs to be specific.
Nor do I believe for one minute that Chilton had any kind of monopoly on
science, even if he CLAIMS he does :-))
The NAtional Library is full of good research by others:-))
I’ve seen nothing I did not learn elsewhere years ago. What does Chilton
have that is new? And who is he to say his is the only "properly done"
research.
These are wild claims Duncan - they have no place here. If you want to
state that Chilton discovered something specific please do, but to state
he is blanket the best and only, is sure to turn people off not on!!!
> No, but Chilton produces diet plans that balance the fatty acids in all that
> you eat.
He can’t.
Everyone needs different amounts of each fatty acid according to where
their metabolism needs help. So if he thinks one diet suits all, he is
WAY off target.
Excuse me, it was not done by guesswork!!!
From 1976 the detailed calculation research on eicosanoids of omega-3’s
was done!!!
> Before he did this series of studies, Chilton was internationally reknowned
> as a researcher
Which planet?
Certainly not in the National Library of Medicine where he is not once
the main contributor to an article, and is a sub-contributor only 5
times total, none of the articles on eicosanoid balance either :-))
So there’s no evidence of National much less international "renown".
What assumption?
> particularly with regard to age and weight and essential
> fatty acid balance, is specifically exposed by Dr. Chilton.
I did not say weight - I said weight relative to ideal - and there is
copious good research on how important fatty acids are in an obese
metabolism, a diabetic one, etc - Maybe Dr C needs to read them.
I think you need to back your flowery claims with data and evidence
Duncan:-))
If Chilton has anything good - and I hope he does - you are sure not
presenting it. You want all to "believe because he is world-famous".
Whether he is or not, and apparently he is not, that is still not a
reason to believe anything. There need to be scientific reasons (and I
am not seeing any) rather than "believe it because I say so" reasons.

You don’t have to insult anyon to make a point. The link to go to for
information on Dr. Chilton is Inflammationnation.com. I think it will
answer a lot of your questions.
What the book does is provide the "only clinically proven diets"
according to the researcher, and it proposes a new food pyramid that
takes inflammation into account, which the current one does not. Also,
it provides a patented inflammation index for about 250 foods so
people can just total up and see where they’re at.
Not bad for $11. It’s a great ivstment and I’d really like to avoid
discussing the merits of a book with someone who won’t buy a copy.
