Hi,   I wish there was such a fruit or vegs.   I have been reading and
posting here for lots of years and all I can say is that a good over all
well balanced diet is about as good as a person can do.
    There are some medicines which change what your body gets from food and
B 6 or B 12 or folic acid need to be added to the food we eat.

Ps   If you have gout,,,, cherries will help.

The link between diet and arthritis has yet to be proven
scientifically,
but there are certain nutritional recommendations that doctors believe
are helpful in the management of symptoms and prevention of further
deterioration.
According to Dr. Fisher, the Indianapolis orthopaedic surgeon,
"Maintaining an ideal bodyweight does your joints a favor." The
link between nutrition and arthritis is complex. There is limited
evidence that diet can influence some forms of arthritis, but to fully
understand this, the type of arthritis and the kind of diet must be
considered. A number of substances, including copper, zinc, vitamin B,
fish oils, plant seed oils and others have also reportedly helped
arthritis patients. Try to gradually switch to low-fat products such as

low-fat milk and spread. Always choose leaner cuts of meat and try to
substitute junk food with fruit and nuts.

Any foods that are rich in flavanoids helps.  Green Tea, onions, soy and
red wine.

OBJECTIVE: Resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) is a
phytoalexin found in high concentration in the skins of grapes and red
wines which has been shown to have antiinflammatory, anticancerogen and
antioxidant properties. Resveratrol is a potent and specific inhibitor
of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). Resveratrol also inhibits COX-2
gene expression and enzyme activity. We aimed to determine the in vivo
effects of intra-articular injections of resveratrol on cartilage and
synovium in an experimental osteoarthritis (OA) model in rabbits.
METHODS: As OA model, rabbits underwent unilateral anterior cruciate
ligament transection (ACLT). Five weeks after test group was injected
with 10 microMol/kg resveratrol in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) in the
knees once daily for two weeks and as the control group at the same
time DMSO was injected into the knees. All rabbits were killed one week
after the last injection. Cartilage tissue and synovium were evaluated
with a histological scoring system. RESULTS: Histological evaluation of
cartilage tissue by H&E staining revealed a significantly reduced
average cartilage tissue destruction score of 1.7 in the resveratrol
group versus 2.8 in the control group (p = 0.016). Loss of matrix
proteoglycan content in cartilage was also much lower, as determined by
safranin O staining. Scores of synovial inflammation didn't show
difference between groups (1.3 vs 2.2; p = 0.057). CONCLUSION: A
characteristic parameter in arthritis is the progressive loss of
articular cartilage. This study suggests that intraarticular injections
of resveratrol starting at the onset of disease may protect cartilage
against the development of experimentally induced OA.
