The world’s first Dietary Inflammatory Index® (DII®) for adult and child populations .
Prior to the DII® , there was no tool to measure dietary inflammation. It is with this in mind that Dr. James Hébert, Director of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program, and his team based at the University of South Carolina in Columbia invested in the development and vailidation of the Dietary Inflammatory Index® (DII®). The DII® has been established as the definitive research tool to measure the inflammatory potential of people’s diet. The DII® has positively been tested in many chronic disease states as published research articles reflect. Since its initial development, the DII® has been highly cited for its hundreds of peer-reviewed journals with collaborators on virtually every continent.
Connecting Health Innovations LLC (CHI) is commercializing a system of innovative products and services to educate individuals about the epidemic of inflammation and its impact on their overall health. Through our technologies, the DII® system supports the adoption of a DII® Life™ which can be realized through our client portal at I’MAGINE HEALTHY!
