I think that's a good basic summary. Perhaps the use of a topical anatabine for psoriasis side steps the potential food effect issue. One thing to note in the psoriasis graphs: anatabine helps psoriatic symptoms, but does not cure or reverse them. This is not surprising to me, as anatabine is nothing more than a compound in certain common foods. I wouldn't be surprised if other foods, like those known to contribute to inflammation, would counter the efficacy of anatabine. Of course, it would be helpful to know how much anatabine is present in foods that contain it, as compared to the amount in the pills or topical solution.

Even if certain foods dampen the effect of anatabine, however, it would be critical to also analyze foods effect on those same markers without anatabine. In other words, anatabine could help by not raising the levels of inflammatory proteins which would have otherwise been elevated without a-bine.
