Otro estudio mostrando que a largo plazo las tan en boga dietas bajas en carbohidratos, más aún si además es alta en proteínas ¡AUMENTA LA MORTALIDAD en un 22%!, por lo que aunque pueda ser útil para bajar de peso a corto plazo (pero con frecuentes rebote IMO a diferencia de las dietas basadas en plantas), a largo plazo está claro que no es saludable. Esto es justo lo contrario que ocurre con una dieta integral basada en plantas / whole foods plant based, que son muyaltas en carbohidratos complejos, que disminuyen la enfermedad y aumenta la calidad de vida y longevidad (como se ve con la alimentación en las zonas azules e indios Tsimane)
RESULTS:
During 113 230 persons years of follow-up, there were 455 deaths. In models with energy adjustment, higher intake of carbohydrates was associated with significant reduction of total mortality, whereas higher intake of protein was associated with nonsignificant increase of total mortality (per decile, mortality ratios 0.94 with 95% CI 0.89 –0.99, and 1.02 with 95% CI 0.98 –1.07 respectively). Even more predictive of higher mortality were high values of the additive low carbohydrate–high protein score (per 5 units, mortality ratio 1.22 with 95% CI 1.09 –to 1.36). Positive associations of this score were noted with respect to both cardiovascular and cancer mortality.
CONCLUSION:
Prolonged consumption of diets low in carbohydrates and high in protein is associated with an increase in total mortality.
