Good science on bad carbs

[Keith Wittenstein]

I was wondering if some of you could send me some good links to SCIENTIFIC articles discussing eating good carbs.

Specifically the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables over grains.

I am looking for real science not anecdotal testimony.

Thanks!

Keith,

Have you read any of the articles Loren Cordain has written?

I like the one he wrote on Syndrome X, which makes a strong case for linking high-glycemic-load foods with Syndrome X and diseases of western civilization:

There are lots of other good articles on his site, too:

I'll do a more thorough search later--this is just off the top of my head.

Thanks, I've been reading those. Great stuff! I should have specified that I wanted some diversity too. Some corroborating evidence if you will.
