A Review of Very Low Carbohydrate Diets for Weight Loss (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 550
From Duke University and the Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management, 1999: A Duke professor reviewed the published medical literature regarding diets that restrict carbohydrate intake to less than 40 grams per day and thereby induce ketosis. He concluded that a very low carb diet reduced blood insulin levels, induced weight loss, and improved blood lipids in some studies. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Effects of Low-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Diets on Risk Factors for Ischemic Heart Disease in Postmenopausal Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 31
From Stanford University and The Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1997: A team of researchers from Stanford (including the very well known Dr. Gerald Reaven) conducted a study of low fat, high carb diets. This team found that women placed on high carb diets had higher VLDL (very low density lipoprotein or "bad cholesterol"), lower HDL (high density lipoprotein or "good cholesterol"), higher total cholesterol, higher insulin levels, and higher blood glucose levels than the women who ate a lower carbohydrate, higher fat diet. These researchers concluded "...it seems reasonable to question the wisdom of recommending that postmenopausal women consume low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets."
Dairy Consumption, Obesity, and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome in Young Adults (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 76
From Harvard University and the Journal of the American Medical Association, 2002: In 2002, a Harvard team worked with researchers from several other universities to study at the relationship between the intake of dairy with obesity and insulin resistance. This team studied 3,000 young adults for 10 years. They found that overweight adults who consumed the most diary were the least likely to develop high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and Insulin Resistance even when the dairy products contained significant dietary fat. They concluded that intake of diary products may reduce the risk of heart disease and type II diabetes.
Low Fat and High Monounsaturated Fat Diets Decrease Human Low Density Lipoprotein Oxidative Susceptibility (Journal Abstract) Added on: 9/24/2002 Hits: 8
From Penn State University and The Journal of Nutrition, 2001: Three diets high in monounsaturated fats from either peanuts and peanut butter, olive oil or peanut oil, had the same favorable effects on low density lipoproteins (LDLs, the "bad" cholesterol) as a low-fat diet in a laboratory study led by a Penn State researcher.
Relation Between Dietary Linolenic Acid and Coronary Artery Disease (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/12/2002 Hits: 36
From Boston University and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2001: These researchers examined the relationship between a dietary fat known as linolenic acid and its relationship with heart disease. They concluded that a higher intake of this fat lowered the odds of developing heart disease particularly when it was combined with another dietary fat, linoleic acid.
Dietary Intake of Linolenic Acid and Risk of Fatal Ischemic Heart Disease Among Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 19
From the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999: In this article, three Harvard researchers report their findings after they reviewed the relationship between a common dietary fat, Linolenic Acid, and fatal heart disease. They reviewed data from their famous Nurses Health Study and found that higher consumption of Linolenic Acid, a fat commonly found in mayonnaise and salad dressings, actually reduced the risk of fatal heart disease.
Do Whole-Grain Oat Cereals Reduce the Need for Antihypertensive Medications and Improve Blood Pressure Control? (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 18
From The University of Minnesota and The Journal of Family Practice, 2002: In this study, researchers found that 73% of the hypertensive participants who consumed whole grain oats (a high-fiber, low glycemic food) rather than refined grain wheat-based cereals (low fiber, high glycemic foods) lowered their blood pressure and significantly reduced their need for blood pressure medications. The researchers also noted improved cholesterol levels, LDL levels, and blood glucose levels leading the researchers to conclude that whole-grain oats reduce the risk of heart disease.
Effect of Virgin Olive Oil on Human Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Composition (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 47
From University of Barcelona and The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002: These Spanish researchers found that daily ingestion of virgin olive oil protects from LDL oxidation (a process in which LDL or "bad" cholesterol leads to hardening of arteries and heart disease) and raises the level of beneficial antioxidant compounds.
Higher Fat Diets Show Same Positive Effects on LDLs As Low Fat Diet (Press Release) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 58
From Penn State University and Penn State News, 2001: Three diets high in monounsaturated fats from either peanuts and peanut butter, olive oil or peanut oil, had the same favorable effects on low density lipoproteins (LDLs, the "bad" cholesterol) as a low-fat diet in a laboratory study led by a Penn State researcher.
Fats Ratio May Be Crucial to Lowering Cholesterol (Magazine Article) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 75
From the USDA Western Human Nutrition Research Center and the USDA Agricultural Research Magazine, 1999: This study found that cholesterol levels did not change significantly regardless of whether the study participants were on low-fat or high-fat diets.
Insulin Resistance Can Predict Hypertension Development, Wake Forest Researchers Report (Press Release) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 23
From Wake Forest University and ScienceDaily, 2000: "We found you can predict who's at higher risk for developing high blood pressure based on their insulin resistance," say these researchers. These researchers found that study participants who had the highest degree of insulin resistance had higher incidence of hypertension and heart disease.
Relation Between a Diet With a High Glycemic Load and Plasma Concentrations of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Middle-Aged Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 11
From Harvard University and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002: Researchers at Harvard found that a high intake of rapidly digested and absorbed carbohydrates increases the risk of ischemic heart disease, especially in overweight women prone to insulin resistance.
Glycemic Index and Serum High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentration Among US Adults (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 16
From Harvard University and The Archives of Internal Medicine, 2001: A group of Harvard professors report findings from a national group of US adults that suggest that high dietary glycemic index and high glycemic load are associated with a lower concentration of the beneficial, so-called "good" cholesterol (HDL).
A Prospective Study of Dietary Glycemic Load, Carbohydrate Intake, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease in US Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 20
From Harvard University and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000: Researchers at Harvard found that a high intake of refined carbohydrates increases the risk of heart disease, independent of other known coronary disease risk factors.
Primary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in Women through Diet and Lifestyle (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 30
From Harvard University and The New England Journal of Medicine, 2000: Harvard researches found that women who are at the lowest risk of heart disease are those who have the lowest glycemic load (lowest carbohydrate intake), among other factors.
Dietary Protein and Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease in Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 33
From Harvard University and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999: A Harvard team studied the relationship between intake of animal protein and heart disease. These researchers concluded, "Our data do not support the hypothesis that a high protein intake increases the risk of ischemic heart disease. In contrast, our findings suggest that replacing carbohydrates with protein may be associated with a lower risk of ischemic heart disease".
Sucrose Compared With Artificial Sweeteners: Different Effects on Ad Libitum Food Intake and Body Weight After 10 Weeks of Supplementation in Overweight Subjects (Journal Abstract) Added on: 9/27/2002 Hits: 17
From The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Denmark and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002: A research team studied the effects of eating sugar versus artificial sweeteners on the voluntary food intake and body weight of overweight people for 10 weeks. They found that the people who ate the sugar ate more food, had higher body wieghts, higher body fat percentages, and higher blood pressures than the people who ate the artificial sweeteners.
Postprandial Thermogenesis Is Increased 100% on a High-Protein, Low-Fat Diet Versus a High-Carbohydrate, Low-Fat Diet in Healthy, Young Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 9/19/2002 Hits: 31
From the Arizona State University and the Journal of The American College of Nutrition, 2002: This team of researchers compared the thermogenic effects of two different low fat diets. The first low fat diet was high in protein and the second was high in carbohydrate. The researchers found that the study participants' body temperature and resting energy expenditure was much higher after eating high protein meals that after eating high carbohydrate meals. They concluded that the thermogenesis that occurs after high-protein meals may partially explain the effectiveness of high-protein diets for weight loss.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Diet of Fulani Pastoralists of Northern Nigeria (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 33
From the University of New Mexico and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2001: These researchers found that Fulani adults have a lipid profile indicative of a low risk of heart disease despite a diet high in saturated fat.
Hyperinsulinemia Predicts Coronary Heart Disease Risk in Healthy Middle-aged Men (Journal Abstract) Added on: 9/24/2002 Hits: 6
From the University of Kuopio in Finland and the Circulation: The Journal of the American Heart Association, 1998: A team of Finnish researchers investigated the proposed link between chronically high levels of insulin (hyperinsulemia) with the risk of heart disease. The researchers reviewed data from 970 men who particpated in a 22-year study. They found hyperinsulemia predicted heart disease independent of other risk factors.
