I'll add a third observation: One of the emerging risk factors for CV
disease is even modest elevations of blood sugar. I think anyone who is
serious about reducing cardiovascular risk should get a home blood glucose
meter and do some testing on himself. If glucose is enven slighly raised, it
could be wise to try reducing carbs as the single most important strategy
for reducing CV risk. If you test, you'll see if it works.

Jim it seems we agree again. . Many people do not do very well on the
conventional AHA diet. It's reliance on cereals and low fat is
particularly bad for those who have insulin resistance; not
necessarily high blood glucose; just high insulin levels. This
condition often leads to metabolic syndrome and eventually
diabetes .The normal AHA diet probable hastens that journey for that
group.A low carb and high fat diet ; only high quality fats ;olive
oil ;omega 3s ect. is a far superior diet for those people and they
are the ones at a very high risk. The AHA receives a lot of money for
those heart heartily logos that appear on many cereals and other
foods Could you imagine that rather than pure science having an
influence on their advice. The low carb higer fat diet has been
recommended by many in this regard. Thanks Vince
