It would be difficult to tell if it's glucosamine that's the cause, or some other thing a person of the kind that takes glucosamine would do (or all of such things in combination).

Inflammation is correlated with many conditions, so I would not be surprised to see other correlations, or that it was combined with other inflammation reducing agents.
