meats
Lamb contains conjugated linoleic acid with potential anti-inflammatory properties, but its high saturated fat content can promote inflammation when consumed in large amounts.
Saturated Fat
+1.0
Higher saturated fat content than most meats can activate inflammatory signaling and affect gut barrier function.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
-0.4
Naturally occurring CLA in grass-fed lamb has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Zinc and B12
+0.2
While these support immune function, the overall inflammatory load from saturated fat dominates the profile.
This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.
Pure lamb is FODMAP-free, though prepared dishes may contain high FODMAP ingredients like garlic and onion.
