Would this include foods that are naturally anti-inflammatory? Or are those minor in normal/healthy amounts and thus not detrimental to training?

It depends, there are several different form of inflammation. Curcumin seems to have little effect on muscle growth post exercise.

Do you happen to have a source for this? I've been avoiding turmeric after lifting for this very reason.
