You know that high carb diets cause fat gain, insulin resistance, and disease, but did you know they are linked to heart attacks as well?

 Doctors have known for decades that too much carbohydrate-laden foods like white bread and corn flakes can be detrimental to cardiac health.In a landmark study, new research from Tel Aviv University now shows exactly how these high carb foods increase the risk for heart problems...

...Enormous peaks indicating arterial stress were found in the high glycemic index groups: the cornflakes and sugar group. "We knew high glycemic foods were bad for the heart. Now we have a mechanism that shows how," says Dr. Shechter. "Foods like cornflakes, white bread,french fries, and sweetened soda all put undue stress on our arteries.We've explained for the first time how high glycemic carbs can affect the progression of heart disease." During the consumption of foods high in sugar, there appears to be a temporary and sudden dysfunction in the endothelial walls of the arteries.Endothelial health can be traced back to almost every disorder and disease in the body. It is "the riskiest of the risk factors," says Dr.Shechter, who practices at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center — Tel Hashomer Hospital.
