How hard is it to get the heart health benefits of a reduced carbohydrate diet? It isn’t that hard. Research from Univ. Cal Davis showed that dropping your carbs to 30-40% of calories will allow you to start yielding the benefits (e.g. lower triglyceride levels).

Healthy Chocolate – Myth or Reality??

Mike Roussell — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:07:29 +0000
