Any woman who takes your look is well conscious that too many carbohydrates are not fine line, but few maybe know that foods with high glycemic index are enemies of heart. This was confirmed by a search of the National Cancer Institute of Milan, which has demonstrated that the habit of eating too frequently bread, pizza and sweets of any variety might result in the long term, serious disturbances of the coronary arteries. As for men, although, there has been no important increase in risk.

The learn lasted eight years and involved almost 48mila Italians, among them more than 32 thousand were women. Over the years, 158 women and 305 men belonging to the sample test developed coronary heart disease: Researchers have looked for possible organizations with eating habits. The result? The correlation subsists, but merely for female subjects. Accused are high glycemic index foods: pizza, white bread, biscuits and potatoes build women more vulnerable to coronary artery disease. No trouble for the pasta (al dente if eaten) and for carbohydrates from fruit and overall grains.

Dr. Sabina Sera, couturier Research Institute with colleagues from Milan, said that “a diet rich in carbohydrates increases the levels of sugar, insulin and triglycerides in the blood, lowering cholesterol but HDL, the fine one; hyperglycemia after meals increases oxidative stress, hyperinsulinemia has adverse effects on blood pressure on endothelial function of blood vessels, sull’infiammazione.

And why does not happen in men? “Maybe the side effects of a diet high glycemic index in females are mediated by differences in lipoprotein profile, for example due to the effect that estrogen has a metabolism that runs at speeds two times that of men, or in glucose metabolism. But this is merely a hypothesis should not be forgotten although that the men surveyed were fewer. Search the authors concede that further learn is needed to verify the absence of correlation. Though we await proof recommend that you inform your partners of possible risk…
