Note that the small LDL particles triggered by gluten-free carbohydrates, as in Claire’s example, persist for 10 days after one indulgence. In other words, if Claire only has a gluten-free slice of bread or a bagel every 10 days, she has small LDL particles and risk for heart disease 7 days a week, 30 days a month, 12 months a year.

You can't just look at what agrees with your views and ignore the rest. That evidence is a lot more compelling to me than WheatBelly's claims that wheat is the root of all evil. I see people buying into his claims because they cut out wheat and they are losing weight, or feel better. But they have, in most cases, also cut out a lot of other refined carbs, ie they are doing a reduced carb die. In fact, that appears to be exactly what WheatBelly is advocating in the above excerpt. It's not just wheat, it's refined carbs. So, which is it? Wheat or just too many refined carbs? My personal view is it's more likely the latter. But even then, it's not that simple. Some people can do fine on higher carb diets. Having a high number of small LDL particles, according to recent studies, is a strong risk factor for CHD. I would assume that applies to many people who are not fat. And like so many studies, it would not surprise me to find that in another few years there will be another study that suggests something else. |

He does a good job of doing that himself, don't you think? about the many people in Asian countries who eat lots of rice and/or noodles and who are doing fine. It's kind of like the French paradox. You can't just look at what agrees with your views and ignore the rest. I don't ignore any views. And they're actually not doing so fine. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-a...#axzz1l3sFmGFn "Is Asia Even All That Healthier Anymore? "Healthy, long-lived Asia isn’t so healthy and long-lived. Both China and India are facing diabetes epidemics. In Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand, diabetes is also increasing. The perfect storm – of sedentary living, processed junk food full of carbs and bad fats, and poor sleep – that has ravaged America and other industrialized nations for almost a century and led to a host of debilitating illnesses is beginning to descend upon Asia. Cooking oils have displaced traditional animal fats and sugar intake is rising. People walk less and eat more wheat. "Even the low BMIs of Asian countries are misleading. At equal BMIs, Asians generally have more body fat than other groups (PDF). So, on average, the American or the Pacific Islander with a BMI of 25 has less body fat than the Chinese guy with a BMI of 25. It’s not clear whether these higher body fat levels (at lower BMIs) correspond to increased risks for certain diseases, but it does suggest that BMI is an unreliable barometer for a country’s leanness on a particular diet. You can be skinny-fat with a low BMI – and it appears that significant numbers of Asians with low BMIs fit that profile. "So, like every other one before it, the Asian Paradox topples: there is actually no paradox. Asian countries remain lean (if they’re actually lean, that is) on a rice-heavy diet by virtue of lots of low-level aerobic activity to promote insulin sensitivity, lots of nutrient-dense food to go with that rice, and because rice is the least offensive grain." http://aadi.joslin.org/content/asian...betes-epidemic But I don't eat like an Asian eats, nor do you. That evidence is a lot more compelling to me than WheatBelly's claims that wheat is the root of all evil. Even if that "evidence" is mostly bull caca? I see people buying into his claims because they cut out wheat and they are losing weight, or feel better. But they have, in most cases, also cut out a lot of other refined carbs, ie they are doing a reduced carb die. No they haven't. If you took the time to read the comments on the Wheat Belly site, you'd see that most of these people only illiminated wheat. Period. Overall carb levels were otherwise maintained. But the only valid "study" is the one you can perform on yourself. Just stop eating wheat for 30-60 days, and watch what happens. So, which is it? Wheat or just too many refined carbs? It's both! But a person can get pretty far down the road by just eliminating wheat. He can get even farther down the road by retricting other carbs, too. Having a high number of small LDL particles, according to recent studies, is a strong risk factor for CHD. I would assume that applies to many people who are not fat. And like so many studies, it would not surprise me to find that in another few years there will be another study that suggests something else. That's the way the cookie crumbles. But to generally ignore all studies is to drive a car while wearing a blindfold! And that's dumb. -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |

Nota bene: One of the worst decisions (in my opinion) ever made was to allow Big Pharma to directly advertise presciption drugs to the public, another case of "pull" marketing (or "conspiracy") that has had serious health consequences. ie gluten free products very similar to the ones they are currently consuming. You're an excellent example of why a good number of people who eat low-carb are unsuccessful. You want to have your cake, and eat it, too.
