Low-carbohydrate diet scores and risk of type 2 diabetes in men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Fat and protein sources may influence whether low-carbohydrate
diets are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to compare the associations of 3
low-carbohydrate diet scores with incident T2D.

DESIGN: A prospective cohort study was conducted in participants from the
Health Professionals Follow-Up Study who were free of T2D, cardiovascular
disease, or cancer at baseline (n = 40,475) for up to 20 y. Cumulative
averages of 3 low-carbohydrate diet scores (high total protein and fat, high
animal protein and fat, and high vegetable protein and fat) were calculated
every 4 y from food-frequency questionnaires and were associated with
incident T2D by using Cox models.

RESULTS: We documented 2689 cases of T2D during follow-up. After adjustments
for age, smoking, physical activity, coffee intake, alcohol intake, family
history of T2D, total energy intake, and body mass index, the score for high
animal protein and fat was associated with an increased risk of T2D [top
compared with bottom quintile: hazard ratio (HR): 1.37; 95% CI: 1.20, 1.58;
P for trend < 0.01]. Adjustment for red and processed meat attenuated this
association (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.95, 1.30; P for trend = 0.20). A high score
for vegetable protein and fat was not significantly associated with the risk
of T2D overall but was inversely associated with T2D in men aged <65 y (HR:
0.78; 95% CI: 0.66, 0.92; P for trend = 0.01, P for interaction = 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS: A score representing a low-carbohydrate diet high in animal
protein and fat was positively associated with the risk of T2D in men.
Low-carbohydrate diets should obtain protein and fat from foods other than
red and processed meat.

Sorry Gys, I do see you posted here and thanks, I hadn't seen that
one.

I got confused because Chung too over and then the anti-Chung
contigent responded.
I find it amusing that Chung and anti-Chung are twin brothers - this
is obvious to everyone except them.

You actually READ what Chung and his cohort (friends or enemies) post?
