This course explores inflammation and immune dysfunction as common pathogenic mechanisms in many chronic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, allergy, and autoimmunity. Dietary and (phyto)nutritional influences on the inflammatory process, including both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, are explored in depth. Case studies will include autoimmune diseases, allergies, and metabolic disorders. Risks, benefits, and nutritional interactions associated with common anti-inflammatory medications are reviewed.
