Thanks Scott.
In case anyone is interested, after doing some more research I am now pretty confident that it is no longer necessary to stick to a low fat diet to reduce inflammation and depression, as long as bifidobacterial numbers are increased with a good prebiotic like Bimuno, or by supplementing with a bifido probiotic like Align. You see I'm convinced it is the level of bifidobacteria that is important, not the fat in the diet per se. A high fat diet reduces bifidobacteria, which causes inflammation and depression, but is entirely preventable by feeding a bifido prebiotic or probiotic. Review the two linked trials for proof. I have a lot of confidence in these two studies because they were done by completely different research teams, and involved different methods of restoring bifidobacteria, but achieved the same positive outcome - cessation of endotoxaemia (which causes inflammation and then depression).
