The article I read is called “Inflammation and cancer: Why your diet is important.” It was about the link between inflammation in the human body and cancer. However, the article mostly focusses on diet. It gives specific examples of the types of foods that should be eaten to reduce inflammation. The article lastly mentions that there is an inverse relationship between inflammation and cancer risks and other chronic diseases. Therefore, eating the recommended foods is a great way to stay healthy and reduce the risk of these diseases at the same time.
When considering Montgomery’s chapter 19, it is easy to see some of the techniques displayed in this article. The beginning couple sentences are both intriguing and a preview of the entire article. In particular, the sentence directly underneath the table which says, “Prolonged inflammation can damage your body's healthy cells,” is a little of both in my opinion. After reading that sentence and the title, I felt as if I should keep reading to find out the steps that can be taken to reduce inflammation. Sure enough the reader centered article was very friendly in informing me of the foods that should be consumed to reduce inflammation. This leads into another one of Montgomery’s techniques which is simple language. The author makes a conscious effort to keep the language simple and easy to understand. This is necessary in science writing when considering the complexity of many science topics. However, the author does not have any issues with confusing writing. In fact, the article can be read by almost anyone. One thing that definitely helped the articles clarity was its organization. It can easily be scanned for information and has clearly labeled headings to ensure the reader can easily sort through and find the necessary information they are looking for. https://www.mdanderson.org/publications/focused-on-health/may-2014/inflamation-cancer-diet.html
