It never ceases to amaze me how despite so much clear evidence that low fat, whole grain diets are not effective and preventing or reducing the liklihood of one devoloping MetSyndrome or CVD, but they still need more studies to help them make up their confused little brains.http://www.medpagetoday.com/endocrinology/metabolicsyndrome/8051?xid=ob_&utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=endoHeres the most comical excerpt/quote from the article. And to think these people have advanced degrees and are the ones creating the medical guidelines that our overweight, obese, out of shape doctors are prescribing to us.An unexpected finding was that consuming a prudent diet (i.e. one that had a high concentration of fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and low-fat dairy products did not reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. "We had expected to see a benefit because we have seen a beneficial relationship in other studies," she said.The researchers noted that their study was limited by its use of a questionnaire to calculate food intake, which may have allowed for reporting bias as well as misclassification of some foods. For example, the questionnaire was "not designed to differentiate whole grain from refined grain items in the food list," they wrote.
