Not so simple: A new animal study undermines the idea that
all
carbs are bad by showing how complex, low-glycemic index carbohydrates
benefit health

Note to Atkins dieters: Not all carbs are evil. A diet containing
carbohydrates that are low in sugar or release sugar slowly can lead to
weight loss, reduced body fat and lower risk factors for chronic illneses
such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, suggests a new
study
on rats.


Some stuff snipped for brevity...


Low-GI foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts,
produce gradual rises in blood sugar and insulin levels, and have been
shown
to improve both glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes. Low
GI-foods can also regulate body weight by virtue of their ability to
control
appetite and increase satiety.


Geez. Sounds like the Atkins diet to me. I mean, vegetables, nuts,
(some) fruits, (some) whole grains... I dunno.

What DO these people think the Atkins is... all bacon all the time?
