Fructose and inflammation

Fructose increases inflammatory processes. One is called "intercellular adhesion molecule-1" or ICAM-1. Another is monocyte chemotactic protein 1, or MCP-1. [link]. ICAM-1 is associated with the body's response to pain [link], but also with kidney failure and senile plaques [link]. It can slow down the brain's ability to repair itself by mediating (increasing) dymelination [link]. MCP-1 is associated with inflammation in the kidneys. [link]

This is just a copy paste of things that inhibit or reduce those inflammatory processes. Olive oil and tea can be found in both lists. 




ICAM-1.

 Natural licorice (link)
Lycopene (Tomatoes #1, Watermelons, soups, grapefruit, baked beans, sweet red pepper, parsley, basil) (link)
Olive oil [link]
EGCG (found in tea) [link] via increased insulin [link]


MCP-1.

Olive oil and quercetin inhibit MCP-1. [link]

Quercetin can be found in fresh onions, cranberries, green chili peppers, red leaf lettuce, kale, asparagus, spinach, sweet peppers [link]

EGCG (found in tea) reduces expression of MCP-1 [link].


Black raspberries inhibit α–Glucosidase[link], which decreases MCP-1 levels [link].

Red raspberries, peaches, and purple corn [link] contain cyanidin 3-glucoside, which reduces levels of MCP-1 and attenuates obesity-associated insulin resistance. [link]
