This Kind of Carb Protects Your Heart, Study Says: time/3652624/carb-carbohydrate-diet So theres a new epidemiological study (one that extrapolates results from previous research papers) that claims whole grains are heart-healthy. Because they saw a correlation between grain consumption and reduced cardiovascular disease and mortality, the conclusion by the researchers is that eating more healthy whole grains is heart protective. It sounds so conveniently perfect. Too bad its wrong. First of all, you cant pull out information extrapolated from other studies that may or may not have looked at the thing that you are now observing. All an epidemiological study can do is give you a hypothesis to test in the gold standard of clinical research--the randomized, controlled trial. Without that, this really means nothing. But heres my question for the researchers--what about inflammation? We know that consuming grains, a food that didnt exist just 10,000 years ago and has to be heavily processed to be made edible by humans, is a key contributor in raising inflammation measured in the body as high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP). And its this inflammation brought on by grain consumption that is the true culprit in heart disease that these researchers are now claiming grains are the answer to improving heart health? Its time to learn the truth about this no matter what TIME Magazine wants you to believe reporting on this.
