I'm curious now if the anti-inflammatory diets popular with dietitians and health influencers could have a negative effect when you really do want inflammation, like when fighting an infection or recovering from injury.

As I understand it such diets allow the immune system to work more effectively, not suppressing it like, say, corticosteroids do.
