More Low Carb News!!!

[graham64]

Hi all Low Carbers , yet another possible advantage of LC, I was looking through a BBC news release and found this, it's the second project that caught my eye

Two major projects are being run by scientists based in Inverness and Aberdeen.
In the first project, researchers have been trying to better understand how eating porridge, oatcakes and muesli could help people with type 2 diabetes.
Scientists believe the cereal can help control the side effects of type 2.
These side effects can lead to killer illnesses including heart disease.

I'm afraid that is not the good news for those of Low Carbers that have seen the effects on BG of porridge and muesli, but then again good control of BG can reduce risks of T2 side effects.
But this second project is very interesting

The project is a partnership involving the UHI, the University of Aberdeen and the Rowett Institute, which conducts nutrition research in Aberdeen.
The other project has been investigating how gluten-rich foods could help trigger schizophrenia in people with a genetic predisposition to the mental condition.
The protein is found in cereal grains which are used to make bread and pasta.

Then after a bit more digging around I came across this.

We report the unexpected resolution of longstanding schizophrenic symptoms after starting a lowcarbohydrate,
ketogenic diet. After a review of the literature, possible reasons for this include the
metabolic consequences from the elimination of gluten from the diet, and the modulation of the
disease of schizophrenia at the cellular level.
