Inflammation could also just be the result of your work and diet may not ever be able to overcome that. It's complicated.
Here's a decent page with lots info on the subject, with lots of reference links if you're curious about the actual scientific studies:

Very good post Fish and I think the article is spot on. I think it is easier now to make a switch to whole grains as the selection is good for the most part.
I might also add that I have found beer to be the cause of inflammation in my joints, or at the very least it aggravates the heck out of them. It sucks, but it is a choice not easy to make because I love beer.
