Science Daily


I've gotten quite a few interesting articles from the Science Daily website. I was looking at this article today titled Low-Carb Diets Reduce Inflammation And Blood Saturated Fat In Metabolic Syndrome. As I looked around I noticed several other interesting links that would be of interest to low-carbers. Here are those that caught my eye:

Low-carb Diet Better Than Low-fat Diet At Improving Metabolic Syndrome

20-year Study Finds No Association Between Low-carb Diets And Risk Of Coronary Heart Disease

Moderate-fat Diet Is Kinder To Heart Than Low-fat Diet, Study Shows


Very Low-carbohydrate Diets Work For Men And Upper Body Fat

So there are a few links for you to pursue and enjoy. I'm going to look around more when I have the time. Right now I'm nursing a cold and feel less than great. I'm taking my stuffy head and going back to bed for a bit.

This is big news?

Low-Carb Diets Combat Metabolic Syndrome

I guess it is to people who have had their head buried in the sand. Low-carbers have known this for years. We live it.

I'm glad to see that a study was done, however small it may be. And these participants got good results even though they didn't follow it as the study suggested! How much better it would have been had they followed it to the letter!

Of course they always have to have the "doubter" in the article somewhere. Sadly, this one comes from right here in St. Louis. I'll give her credit though.. she isn't outright saying the whole study should be dismissed. She's just saying that it may not apply to everyone. She seems to think it might not work for those who do not have metabolic syndrome. I disagree! I know many who do not suffer from metabolic syndrome, and they are doing excellent on a low-carb diet.

I can't wait to see what "surprises" them next....
