Study Links Low-Carb Diet to High LDL
A study from Stanford University in the United States reveals that a low-carbohydrate diet may raise levels of harmful cholesterol, especially in individuals with a genetic predisposition, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. The study involved 600 adults who followed either a low-carbohydrate or low-fat diet without a clear advantage in weight loss. Researchers found that those with a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol experienced the greatest increases, particularly when consuming saturated fats. The findings suggest that nutritional advice may not be one-size-fits-all, and that some individuals are adversely affected by a low-carbohydrate diet that is high in fats.
