What is Inflammation? It is essentially the body’s response to injury or foreign objects. Inflammation is something you want your body to turn on to fight bacteria, and then turn off so that it doesn’t harm you. But sometimes, because the body is so effective at attacking bacteria and viruses, inflammation will overspill and attack our own bodies. Overtime, inflammation overspill can lead to damage — which can ultimately lead to cancer risk.
