To Carb or Not to Carb?
Another study on the benefits of whole grains has been reported. This one was detailed in the Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter. The findings indicated that a diet rich in whole grains lowered the risk of developing heart diease from as much as 18% to 30%. The variance is accounted for by the amount of whole grains and bran ingested.
How can Atkins enthusiasts, and their ilk, persevere in the face of such findings? How can they carry on, for that matter, in the face (so to speak) of the resultant constipation so often incurred by the prescribed shunning of whole grains?
They are right to turn their backs on most processed foodstuffs, and white flour is indeed an abomination, but grains are not the enemy. Overindulgence is.

People who eat lots of food get fat. Not people who eat carbs. We should only be eating as much as we need to fuel our daily activities.
Ice cream and chocolate are exceptions however.
