According to a study by Aberdeen's Rowett Research Institute,
low-carb diets
may increase the risk of bowel cancer.
They state there appears to be a link between eating less
carbohydrates
and reducing a cancer-fighting bacteria.
They found that low-carb regimes could cause a four-fold reduction in this healthy bacteria, and warn against maintaining a
low-carb diet
over time.
What this report fails to address is the
difference between carbs
. They state there's no long term benefit from cutting down on fruits,
or
fibre, such as breads. Contrary to these findings,
most people DO benefit from
cutting out grain-carbs
, whereas many actually need a
high-carb diet--mainly in the form of vegetables
.
In reality, the one-size-fits-all just doesn't work. You need to determine whether your body burns carbohydrates effectively or not, and following the diet that works for
your nutritional type
. If you're a protein type, staying on a low-carb diet is far less likely to cause you ill health than keeping up on your bread consumption out of fear of developing bowel cancer.
