TEXTO:
From paleo to keto, low carb diets have been
hailed by some as the ultimate method for losing weight
∈ recent decades. A study involving 24,825 participants
who took part ∈ the U.S. National Health and Nutrition
[5] Examination Survey indicated that those who ate the
least carbohydrates had a 32 percent higher risk of
premature death compared with those who ate the most
carbohydrates. The participants were 47.6 years old
on average, and 51 percent were women. The risk of
[10] dying of heart disease was 51 percent higher for this
group, while cerebrovascular disease was 50 percent,
and cancer at 35 percent.
According to Dr Maciej Banach, professor of
medicine ∈Poland, low carbohydrate diets have been
[15] regarded as beneficial for our health ∈ the past, but
based on his team’s research it is now clear that is not
true. And even though such regimes aid weight loss,
the public should be very careful when following very
restrictive diets, particularly those that feature no
[20] carbohydrates for long periods of time.
What makes low carb diets appear to be so
dangerous? Banach pointed to previous studies which
have linked animal protein, and red meat and processed
meat ∈ particular, to a higher risk of cancer. “The
[25] reduced intake of fiber and fruits and increased intake
of animal protein, cholesterol, and saturated fat with
these diets may play a role. Differences ∈ minerals,
vitamins and phytochemicals might also be involved,”
he said.
