Anti-inflammatory diets have long been prescribed for heart disease, weight loss, depression, acne, anti-aging, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and multiple sclerosis by doctors such as Barry Sears, creator of the Zone Diet, and Andrew Weil, the popular health-and-nutrition guru.

In his best-seller Anticancer, A New Way of Life, New Edition, cancer survivor and physician David Servan-Schrieber explores foods that he believes prevent or curb cancer growth through their anti-inflammatory properties.

Claghorn is an advanced practice clinical dietitian specialist at Abrahmson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
