December 26, 2008, Newsletter Issue #148: Good fats and cholesterol profile
Tip of the Week
It is well known that consuming foods that are high in fat can seriously impair our blood biochemistry including cholesterol profile. When this conclusion is automatically transferred to a low-carb dieting, it's a misconception. Clinical data shows that the "high-fat, high-carb" diets - not" high-fat, low-carb" diets - create the cholesterol and heart disease problem.
Researchers from Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Texas, concluded:
"Compared with the low-carbohydrate diet, the high-carbohydrate diet caused a 27.5-percent increase in LDL ("bad cholesterol") levels; it also reduced levels of HDL ("good cholesterol") by 11 percent."
