| Very-Low-Fat Diet May Compromise Immune Function, Increase Infection Rate in Trained Runners, UB Study Finds (Press Release) |
Added on: 9/20/2002 | Hits: 13 |
| From the New York State University at Buffalo, 1999: In this study, researchers compared the immune systems of men and women athletes who ate either a 17%, 32%, or 41% fat diet. They found that the athletes who ate the low fat diet had suppressed immune systems that left them more suspectible to infections and inflammation. The immune systesm of the groups eating the higher fat diets did not experience the same immunosuppression, and in fact, showed and enhanced ability to fight infections. |

| High-Fat Diet Raises "Good Cholesterol" in Trained Runners (Press Release) |
Added on: 9/20/2002 | Hits: 15 |
| From the New York State University at Buffalo, 1997: A team of researchers studied the cholesterol profile of female athletes who were either on a high fat diet or a low fat, high carbohydrate diet. They found that the athletes who ate the high fat diet had higher HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) than those who ate the low fat diet. The researchers also noted that the athletes who at the high fat diet did not have negative effects on total cholesterol, body weight, body composition, blood pressure, or pulse rate. |

| Trained Runners Perform Better On Diet Moderately High In Fat Than On High-Carbohydrate, Low-Fat Regimen, Study Shows (Press Release) |
Added on: 9/20/2002 | Hits: 30 |
| From the New York State University at Buffalo, 1994: A team of researchers studied the effects of a high fat diet and a high carbohydrate diet on the aerobic capacity and endurance of male athletes. The researchers openly state that the results were the opposite of what they expected: The athletes performed better on the high fat diet than on the high carbohydrate diet, even though the total caloric intake was the same in both diets. They concluded that athletes who restrict dietary fat to low levels may be sacrificing their endurance performance. |

| From the Massachusettes Institute of Technology and the American Journal of Physiology, 1999: This team of researchers from MIT found that eating protein provided study participants with higher energy during physical exercise than did eating high amounts of carbohydrate. |
