Is the term, ‘safe starches’ an oxymoron?

Ron Rosedale , Sunday, November 20, 2011

What’s the big deal about 100 grams of carbohydrate from starch? That’s 1 and 1/2 large baked potatoes, or 2 cups of cooked rice.  Paul Jaminet, an astrophysicist from Harvard with a strong interest in health and diet, believes that these so-called “safe starches” are healthy, and that if these are not consumed, one might experience what he calls “a glucose deficiency”. I do not.  We have been going back and forth on different blogs debating this.

I believe, quite simply, that all sugars, and foods that convert into sugar, will have a detrimental effect if eaten, and therefore the fewer non-fiber carbohydrates that a person has, the better, and that the difference should be made up by consuming more beneficial fats and oils.  Besides that, our diets are fairly similar in that they are both, compared with a standard diet, higher in fat and lower in carbohydrates.   My view is considered extreme by some, including many in the ‘safe starch’ camp who do not believe that glucose should be looked upon as that detrimental.   I also realize that not eating any foods that can convert into glucose is, from a practical sense, impossible.   I recommend that people have all the vegetables that they want, except for the overly sugary ones such as corn and beets.  This makes our diets that much closer.  Then why is this debate such a big deal?

Death by Calcium, why Calcium Supplements Increase Heart Attacks – Ron Rosedale, M.D. interviewed by Shelley Schlender, KGNU

This is an interview with Shelley Schlender, KGNU radio, Boulder, Colorado. Thank you Shelley for the article, graphics and the interview below. You can learn more about Shelley and her passion for exposing the truth in health at her website, www.meandmydiabetes.com

New research published in the British Medical Journal indicates men and women over 40 who take calcium supplements increase their risk of heart attack by  30%, compared to people who don’t take the supplements.  The study points out that often, people take calcium supplements hoping that this will reduce their risk of breaking bones,  even though in actual fact, taking more calcium only reduces bone fractures by a marginal amount.  Baron and coauthors caution that the benefit of reducing bone fracture risk by taking calcium supplements may be outweighed by the likelihood of increasing heart attacks.
