- Eating a low fat diet can reduce your risk of early death & illness up to 34 percent
- Meanwhile, a diet low in carbs (like keto diets) can raise mortality risk by around 38 percent
Comment: When we say “carbs” we should specify processed (bad) carbs as the culprit – think white flour (white bread, white pizza dough, white pasta, white pastries, white rice, sweet desserts, many breakfast cereals, table sugar, etc). However, consuming UNPROCESSED (good) CARBS is essential to our health. (Think brown rice, barley, quinoa, bran cereal, oatmeal, whole wheat or multigrain bread, all varieties of veggies, fruit, legumes – kidney beans, baked beans, peas, lentils.)
