Re: The definitive study on dietary fat and weight


Susan:

>>>Several studies have shown that high-carbohydrate low-fat diets
lead
to high triglycerides, elevated serum insulin levels, lower HDL
cholesterol levels, and other factors known to raise the risk of
coronary artery disease. (See Liu GC; Coulston AM; Reaven GM. Effect
of high-carbohydrate low-fat diets on plasma glucose, insulin and
lipid responses in hypertriglyceridemic humans. Metabolism, 1983 Aug,
32:8, 750-3. *

All of these studies are fatally flawed, because (1) they are based on
an isocaloric, forced feeding design, (2) they do not control the
quality of the carbs, and (3) they do not include exercise programs.

When people eat a diet rich in "good" carbs, low in total fat and
especially low in "bad" fat, and exercise, they lose weight, improve
their lipids, improve their blood pressure, and lessen their insulin
resistance.

The true pathologies behind the obesity and diabetes epidemics are lack
of exercise and explosive increase in sugar intake, in a setting of
overall increased caloric intake.
