The Claim
Higher dietary intake of fish and higher serum levels of vitamin C and lutein/zeaxanthin are associated with lower concentrations of C-reactive protein in adults, regardless of the presence of age-related maculopathy.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adults with higher consumption of fish and higher blood levels of vitamin C and lutein/zeaxanthin have lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of systemic inflammation.
See the scientific wording
Higher dietary intake of fish and higher serum levels of vitamin C and lutein/zeaxanthin are associated with lower levels of C-reactive protein in adults with or without age-related maculopathy, suggesting that these dietary factors may be linked to reduced systemic inflammation relevant to eye health.
Fish oil compounds and antioxidant vitamins enter the bloodstream, calm immune cells that trigger inflammation, and signal the liver to make less of the inflammatory protein CRP.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who eat more fish and have more vitamin C and lutein in their blood tend to have less inflammation in their body, and this study found exactly that.
