Does diet have a role in the aetiology of rheumatoid arthritis?

Although dietary factors have been extensively studied in many chronic
diseases, the role of diet in the epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has
received little attention. Fruit and vegetables and dietary antioxidants are
thought to play a protective role in the pathogenesis of CVD and some cancers,
but few studies have investigated these dietary components in the aetiology of
RA. Fish oil supplementation has consistently been shown to have a beneficial
effect on the symptoms of established RA, but it is not known whether the PUFA
present in fish oils can reduce the risk of developing the disease. There is
evidence that RA is less severe in the southern Mediterranean countries, such
as Italy and Greece, where oil-rich fish, fruit, vegetables and olive oil are
consumed in greater amounts than in many other countries. Overall, the evidence
for a role of diet in the aetiology of RA is limited to a small number of
observational studies of very different designs. Recently, it was demonstrated
that lower intakes of fruit and vegetables and dietary vitamin C are associated
with an increased risk of developing inflammatory polyarthritis in a
free-living population in Norfolk, UK. These findings provide further evidence
for a role of diet in the development of inflammatory arthritis, although the
mechanisms involved are uncertain.

Physiological impacts of diet

Intresting that with less vit c there is a higher rate, more vit c means
more iron absorbed. It is known this disease goes with people haveing
lower stores of iron, so with less vit c to absorb the iron present in the
diet and the body having less of it; hmmm - it makes one think.
