Cross reactive food antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis

Many people are worried about the relationship between diet and arthritis. Personally I am a lover of food and especially enjoy meat; with this in mind here are some pork recipes that you may enjoy. Very nice even if I do say so myself :)

Anyway back to the link between diet and arthritis. There is increasing interest in attempting to understand what the risk factors are that lead to the development of rheumatoid arthritis and one of the things that has been identified is lifestyle. There is an increased risk of developing the condition if you smoke, have a large consumption of caffeine and have a diet rich in red meats such as pork and beef.

As with everything moderation is the order and having a balanced diet should help to reduce the risk of getting arthritis.
