A diet high in Omega-6 fatty acids (corn, soybean, sunflower, peanut oils) and low in Omega-3s (flax, walnut, canola)
tends to push cytokines to the inflammatory Cox2 type.
American diets are highly inflammatory when they contain fried foods in more than moderate amounts.

This is one reason fish oil and krill oil are anti-inflammatory too.
