Yet another study supports Low-carb for diabetics
Atkins helps diabetes patients
2005 May 24 WELLINGTON, New Zealand, May 23, 2005 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- A study by New Zealand's Wellington Hospital indicates the high-fat Atkins diet helps diabetes patients lose weight and control the disease. The study examined the cases of 12 overweight patients with type 2 diabetes brought on by diet and lifestyle. On a modified Atkins diet, the patients lost an average of about 22 pounds in six months, the Wellington Dominion Post reported Monday. Surprisingly, the researchers said the patients' glucose tolerance improved significantly, indicating better diabetes control. "When I went into it, with no published studies, I was expecting we would see it would be harmful," said endocrinologist and lead study author Jeremy Krebs. "I was not surprised people were able to lose weight, but the health parameters all improved more than I expected." The diet used in the study was a slightly modified version of Atkins, aiming to avoid "bad" saturated fats and eat more mono and polyunsaturated fats.

They have no clue that the same results would have been realized even without "modifying" the Atkins diet to take out the yummy fats. -- Peter Website: http://users.thelink.net/marengo |

Too many medical researchers have their careers invested in the present low fat dogma for any change to be sudden. -- --- Chris Smolinski Black Cat Systems http://www.blackcatsystems.com |
