This indicated that the cooking ingredient helped the body promote anti-inflammatory responses.

Activation of the body to release this appeasement signal, as opposed to that equivalent to an emergency attack - could constitute a huge advance for people with rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system regularly attacks joints and body tissues by mistake.
