Dr David Ludwig, who led the team at the Children's Hospital in Boston, said: "The study findings should give impetus to large-scale trials of low GI diets in humans.
"What the study shows is that glycaemic index is an independent factor that can have dramatic effects on the major chronic diseases plaguing developed nations - obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
"This is the first study with hard endpoints that can definitively identify glycaemic index as the active dietary factor."
He added: "The Atkins diet tries to get rid of all carbohydrates, which we think is excessively restrictive.

David Ludwig is tied into Harvard University and may be an associate of Walter Willett. I am surprised at how slow this group is at catching on to what Atkins actually said. (OK, I should know better.) |
