A follow-up statement from the authors of the now-famous "carbs cause cancer" research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute confirms that only high glycemic index carbs cause cancer. That is, the most refined, most highly processed carbohydrates like refined white flour and white sugar. Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and vegetables were not shown to cause cancer.

Of course, virtually all Americans currently pig out on high-carbohydrate foods such as soft drinks, crackers, breads, cookies, pastries, potato chips, pastas, desserts, granola bars, "energy" drinks and the like. These products are all now linked to cancer, according to this research. This is going to drive the food manufacturers nuts. Makers of these high-carbohydrate foods are already losing serious market share thanks to the popularity of the Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet, and now, with this research, even more people are going to start avoiding refined carbohydrates.

Join the club. I've been 100% free of soft drinks for seven years (not a sip), and free of refined sugars for almost as long. I gave up all breads several months ago, and I plan to pursue a low-carbohydrate diet for the rest of my healthful life. It isn't just a weight loss diet, you know: low-carb is the way to live your entire life.
