InflammaFree
InflammaFree Certified means Omega balance is assured!
About InflammaFree
InflammaFree is dedicated to addressing the critical nutritional imbalances in our food environment that disproportionately harm Black communities. The current food system has unnaturally high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (LA). Due to common genetic variations, many Black individuals are more efficient at converting LA to arachidonic acid (AA), which can lead to increased inflammation when LA is consumed in excess. This mismatch between our biology and the modern food supply urgently needs to be addressed.
The solution is clear: we must change our distorted food environment to benefit everyone. InflammaFree is committed to reducing the unnaturally high levels of omega-6 in our food system. We aim to:
- Certify and promote products with a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.
- Advocate for a food environment that supports the health of all communities.
- Provide education on the importance of omega balance.
- Lobby for policy changes to improve food environments.
- Push for clear omega content labeling.
- Raise awareness about making balanced foods accessible in mandatory public spaces.
- Expose and challenge food companies that market products with unhealthy omega balances, particularly those targeting the Black community, to drive accountability and change.
Through these initiatives, we aim not only to build a food system that offers nutritional equality for all but also to reduce inflammation-related health issues across communities. By addressing these imbalances, we strive to improve health outcomes for everyone.
What Does InflammaFree Certified Mean?
InflammaFree Certified means consumers can be assured that the product has an omega balance. This means the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids is between the optimal healthy range of 1:1 to 1:4, promoting anti-inflammatory benefits.
InflammaFree foods help you live free from inflammation, whereas inflammatory foods contribute to it. By choosing InflammaFree Certified products, you can be confident that you're opting for foods that fight inflammation—not fuel it.
