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.

Most people in the US (and a growing list of other countries) are insulin
resistant. Most. People.

So the AHA guidlines are harmful to most, not just "many."

Let me wright more clearly. There is some evidence that a high carb
diet ;rich in grains ;may have some effect on LDL levels . However as
LDL is only a weak predictor of heart disease this diet may not bring
about much reduction in events .. Insulin resistance and blood glucose
levels are a much stronger indicator of Heart disease and a high carb -
low fat diet actually is counterproductive in that group .That group;
those with insulin problems is the group most at risk and the group
that is most hurt by these recommendations.It is also the group ythat
will have the most events. Thanks Vince
