The Myth of the Low-Fat, High-Carb Diet
|
|
 by Joel M. Kauffman, Ph.D.
All honestly-run low-carb diet trials show benefits, even ones where the researchers expected the opposite.
Examination of at least two dozen controlled diet trials by an equal number of authors in several countries led to these conclusions:
1. Carb restriction improved control of serum glucose, the primary target of nutritional therapy, and reduced insulin fluctuations.
2. Carb-restricted diets are at least as effective for weight loss as low-fat diets.
3. Substitution of fat for carb is generally beneficial for markers of and for the actual incidence of cardiovascular disease. [This means that a diet of 25% carb, 25% protein and 50% fat will be optimum for many folks. Some have followed such diets for over 50 years.]
4. Carb restriction has benefits even in the absence of weight loss.

| Statin Induced Diabetes |
|
 by Duane Graveline, MD, MPH
Study after study has documented that statins can cause diabetes or aggravate pre-existing diabetes.
It is true that the incidence of diabetes will be increased by some 7 to 12 percent with the use of statins. To say that this monumental black mark is turned white because at the same time statins decrease cardiovascular risk makes no sense to me. Damage is damage.
It seems far better to understand that this increased incidence of diabetes is purely a function of mevalonate blockade and the gradual accumulation of mitochondrial DNA damage due to CoQ10 inhibition. Our programs to lower cholesterol will be regarded by historians of the future as one of man's greatest medical blunders.
