Interrelationship of Seasons with Inflammation, Red Meat, Fruit, and Vegetable Intakes, Cardio-Metabolic Health, and Smoking Status among Breast Cancer Survivors.

A food inflammatory score of 0–1, which represents a diet with more red meat than fruits and vegetables, was associated with a 14% to 21% reduction of CRP if blood was collected in winter compared to summer in most subgroups ( p -values were significant or marginally significant; see Table 4 ), whereas a food inflammatory score of −2 to −1, which represents a diet with more fruits and vegetables than red meat, had no impact on CRP in winter compared to women with a food inflammatory score of 0–1 who had a blood draw in summer.

Furthermore, the positive associations between red meat and serum CRP seemed to plateau after quartile 1, whereas the inverse associations between vegetable and fruit intakes and CRP did not reach statistical significance until at or above quartile 4.
