  •

From Carbohydrates to Fat to Diabetes - 0 views

  •  
    As the graphic (right) indicates, carbohydrates can be converted to fat, but not vice versa. A net synthesis of carbohydrates from fat cannot occur in our body. This is important. It implies that certain carbohydrates can be more dangerous to our health than fat! However, too much of either food type is detrimental to our health, and too much of both types can result in an even more serious assault on our health. We explain below

Fat in diet won't affect weight gain over time | Reuters - 1 views

  •  
    "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who want to maintain a healthy weight over time shouldn't obsess about their fat intake, new research shows. The percentage of calories that a person got from fat, as opposed to protein or carbohydrates, had nothing to do with how much weight they gained in the coming years, the research team found. The kinds of fat they ate didn't matter either, Dr. Nita Forouhi of the Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK and her colleagues found. The findings, Forouhi noted in an email to Reuters Health, show that "it is more important to aim for a healthy lifestyle including a balanced healthy diet and regular physical activity, than to focus on fat intake alone as a factor for weight gain.""

Body mass and waist size can predict heart disease | Reuters - 0 views

  •  
    "A large 10-year study found that half of all fatal heart disease cases and a quarter of all non-fatal cases are linked to being overweight and having a high body mass index (BMI) or large waist. Body mass index and waist circumference are well known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases but the Dutch researchers said their work showed BMI and waist size could actually help predict the risk of dying from or developing heart disease."
