C-reactive protein (CRP) is a globular protein that increases in the serum as a response to injury or inflammation.  It also turns out to be a good predictor for cardiovascular disease.  A study appearing in the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association (2005;8(1):43:44), involving 27,000+ women, found that CRP was a better predictor of cardiovascular disease than LDL (bad) cholesterol.  High CRP levels have actually been associated with mortality from all causes.  A CRP level greater than 3 mg/L in men was found to increase the likelihood of death by almost 2 fold according to Clinical Chemistry (2008 Feb;54(2):335-42).  The high CRP levels increased the likelihood of a heart attack by a factor or 2.15 and increased the likelihood of cancer by a factor of 1.65.  A  recent study appearing in Free Radical Biology and Medicine (Oct.
