Not sure why this is downvoted, this is correct on all points. I've been on a journey to lower chronic inflammation and you would not believe how hard it is to find stuff that doesn't have "fragrance" or other mysterious potentially-inflammation-causing substances.

> Grains (mainly whole grains): 7-8 servings > 1 slice bread

Who the heck is eating 7-8 slices of bread -- A DAY??? (or the equivalent)... Of a healthy bread that's about 900 calories just from breads...

That's like 2 bowls of cereal for breakfast, 2 sandwiches for lunch, and 2 servings of pasta for dinner, whoa.

Sorry, where did you find that text? I can't find the words "mainly whole grains", or even the word "servings" anywhere on https://www.heartandstroke.ca/articles/the-anti-inflammatory... .. maybe you navigated to another page afterward or something?
You're right, I actually navigated to their dash diet page:

Honestly that used to be a common midday break for me at work. 2 slices of bread per sandwich with ham and/or cheese inbetween the 2 I never gained weight and always ate a lot tho and as i got older i've become more active.
