High protein diets and interference with plaque regression



Fleming RM.
The effect of high-protein diets on coronary blood flow Angiology.
2000; 51(10):817-26.

It's just a small study with small subject but this doesn't explain
the decrease in coronary blood flow in the low carb group

is the URL for the PMID abstract.

Very intersting study and I've bookmarked it with my other links to
plaque regression reports. Fleming has his own book out, "Stop
Inflammation Now!: A Step-by-Step Plan to Prevent, Treat, and Reverse
Inflammation - the Leading Cause of Heart Disease and Related
Conditions"

Davide, do you have the original article? WHat was the diet plan that
the non-high-protein group was on? How high was the protein
consumption in the HP arm?

I would suspect that at least some of the difference from the two arms
was what the HP subjects dropped from their diet - fiber, vegetables,
various phytonutrients - rather than the effect of the protein per se.
