Interesting read. The body functions as a set of interconnected systems, and certainly imbalances in one area will be felt in others. It really does seem as if many of these systems (inflammatory, cholesterol, insulin) have an "optimal functioning range"--too much or too little is not a good thing.
(Good to see you post again, too.)

Good points. I agree that there are no magic cures, and we should beware of relying on the latest and greatest to cure us, while neglecting other aspects of our bodies and minds. Even a large amount of, let's say, fish oil will have little healing effect if we continue to be sedentary, overweight, eat gobs of fat and sugar, and walk around angry, self pitying, and resentful.
