I can't talk about knees. I have no problem with them but I can talk about my fingers. At age 55 I started noticing signs of arthritis in my fingers. Over the course of time my finger joints became painful and somewhat deformed. The deformation still exists although it is in no way severe and it is not increasing, plus the pain is entirely gone. I credit a low carb diet for this. In two weeks I will turn 69. I do nothing to explicitly exercise my fingers so diet alone must be given the credit. I too suspect that obesity and knee degeneration may have the same cause. I also suspect that osteoarthritis of my finger joints had the same cause as my former obesity. Sometimes I think that all these "scientists" are intentionally avoiding the elephant in the room. Remove the infllamatory foods from the diet (processed high carbs and highly processed vegetable oils) and lots of problems go away or so I believe.
