The Government's Flawed Diet Advice!
New article in Scientific American JAN 2003:
"Rebuilding the Food Pyramid" by Walter C. Willet and Meir J. Stampfer.
The dietary guide introduced a decade ago has led people astray. Some fats are healthy for the heart, and many carbohydrates clearly are not.
Researchers have found that a high intake of refined carbohydrates such as white bread and white rice can wreak havoc on the body's glucose and insulin levels. repalcing these carbohydrates with healthy fats - monosaturated or polysaturated - actually lowers one's risk of heart disease.
Very good article - I have not read the whole thing yet but certainly appears to support LC dieting from a respected scientific publication.
I had to give it two thumbs up because I keep reading it as I am writing here - all good stuff! Good summary of latest thinking. Please Enjoy it!
