U.S. scientists reported* in a recent issue of Lancet that a low-glycemic-index diet led to weight loss, reduced body fat, and a reduction in risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease among rats.  The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how much a food raises sugar levels in the blood.

"The study findings should give impetus to large-scale trials of low-GI diets in humans," said senior author David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life obesity program at Children's Hospital Boston.

While this is suddenly today’s “hot” news story, Perricone readers have long known that my books The Perricone Prescription, The Wrinkle Cure, and The Clear Skin Prescription all advocate low-GI foods.  These books contain comprehensive lists of “good” (i.e. low-GI) carbohydrates and “bad” (i.e. high-GI carbohydrates) to help readers make the right food choices.  In my new book, The Perricone Promise, I also offer exciting new strategies to protect against the negative effects of these foods (obesity, heart disease, diabetes, acne and wrinkles).

Why is it so important to avoid these foods? 

Sugary, starchy foods (e.g., breads, pasta, pastries) and other high-GI foods—such as certain sweet or starchy fruits and vegetables (e.g., potatoes, raisins, bananas)—rapidly convert to sugar in the bloodstream.  The sugar triggers an insulin response from the pancreas to control the level of blood sugar in your body.

Elevated blood sugar causes a number of chemical reactions in the body that create inflammation on a cellular level.  For starters, blood sugar reacts with minerals such as iron and copper, creating free radicals, which then attack the lipid bi-layer membranes of our cells.  This results in a cascade of pro-inflammatory chemicals, causing further damage and accelerated aging.

We have three interesting food-related items this month. Two of these reports verify the anti-aging value of colorful “rainbow” fruits and vegetables—a topic I explore in depth in The Perricone Promise, due in October from Warner books.  The third underscores the serious adverse effects of excess dietary sugars—weight gain and diabetes risk.

Blueberries may rival prescription cholesterol-buster

Antioxidant-rich fruit joins the heart-health honor roll

In August, a team led by USDA research chemist Agnes Rimando, Ph.D. reported that pterostilbene—a natural antioxidant found in blueberries—may lower blood levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides: physiologic effects that help prevent ...
