The radio news mentioned a study that's just been reported. It seems women are "more than twice as likely" to have heart disease if they have diets high in white bread, white rice, pizza, and other things that make the blood sugar spike. This is just one more proof for the theorem "white breat is not food."
Huh? Why?
Because it messes with your blood sugar. When your blood glucose levels alter drastically, it messes up the balance of calcium and potassium in your blood. If you spend basically your entire life recovering from an excessive amount of blood sugar (for several hours after all those high-carbohydrate meals and snacks) your calcium and potassium levels STAY messed up. Your heart kinda needs them not to be messed up in order to stay healthy.
Go ahead and do your own research into the Glycemic Index if you want to moderate your risk of developing heart disease by improving your diet. And eat some real bread for a change. How about a nice heavy aged-cheese-on-rye sammich?
