Just skimming through these recent articles from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, you would think that refined carbohydrates are associated with:
cancer;
loss of sight (updated 8/10/07...the Modern Forager blog has a good posting about this story); and
increases in the so-called "bad" LDL cholesterol.
Indeed, fructose is presented as a pretty dodgy thing to eat.
It is amazing that we are told to eat so many carbohydrates!

Limiting refined carbohydrates may stall AMD progression
I read that whole Dr Briffa post and comments.
You know, I've been researching nearly full-time for a month, mostly on the internet (some book learnin') and now that I think of it, in all the hundreds of testimonies I've read, I've NEVER read a diabetic write that they had tried Atkins/low-carb and had problems or it hadn't benefitted them.
Not once.
