Diet and rheumatoid arthritis

<p>As the cliche goes, you are what you eat. But did you know it might be linked to rheumatoid arthritis?</p> <p>Honours student Shweta Venkataraman and supervisor Dr Chloe Goldsmith have been investigating the link between diet, the immune system's T-cells and rheumatoid arthritis.</p> <p>For this research they recruited Fuzzy host Rod, who agreed to provide a detailed account of his weekly diet.
