Summary
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.

Details
- 1. The study concluded only that diets with high glycemic loads --
that is, diets rich in processed foods like white bread, white rice and
other foods made from refined grains (cakes, cookies, chips, etc.) as
well as other high-glycemic foods like potatoes and corn -- were
associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer.
- The carbohydrates at the lower end of the glycemic scale, such as
vegetables and products made from whole grains, were not associated with
increased risk.
- (In fact, hundreds of studies have shown for years that diets rich in
a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans are consistently
associated with lower cancer risk in general, and lower colorectal
cancer risk in particular.)
