Foods Arthritis Sufferers Should Avoid for Better Relief

Butter? No Thanks

We all know butter is rich, creamy, and totally delicious -- but for people with arthritis, it's a no-go. The Arthritis Research Campaign says that being overweight can make arthritis symptoms worse, and butter is one of those foods that can contribute to health issues. It's high in fat, packs a ton of calories, and can lead to swelling. The same goes for butter substitutes like margarine -- they're loaded with trans fats and have been linked to inflammation, heart disease, and even cancer.
