Causations are not necessarily one way. Inflammation causes disease, disease causes obesity (unhealthy people tend to move less), obesity causes more inflammation. Start anywhere in the circle. I don't believe there's actually any evidence for the claim that inflammation is the root issue for most disease I quote from a seven year old issue of Nature insight (http://www.nature.com/nature/supplements/insights/inflammation/index.html http://www.nature.com/nature/supplements/insights/inflammati...): Inflammation forms the basis of many physiological and pathological processes. Much is known about how inflammation is initiated, develops and resolves over the short term. But less is known about the causes and consequences of chronic inflammation, which underlies many human diseases. Recent studies have extended our understanding of chronic inflammation and the cross-talk that occurs between inflammatory responses and other physiological and pathological This is common knowledge and has been for a long time.
