We consider a quantum corrected inflation scenario driven by a generic GUT or Standard Model type particle model whose scalar field playing the role of an inflaton has a strong non-minimal coupling to gravity. We show that currently widely accepted bounds on the Higgs mass falsify the suggestion of the paper arxiv:0710.3755 (where the role of radiative corrections was underestimated) that the Standard Model Higgs boson can serve as the inflaton. However, if the Higgs mass could be raised to ∼230 GeV, then the Standard Model could generate an inflationary scenario with the spectral index of the primordial perturbation spectrum (barely matching present observational data) and the very low tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio .
