Carbohydrate restriction as the default treatment for type 2 diabet... - PubMed - NCBI

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18609058

Abstract

"Dietary carbohydrate restriction in the treatment of diabetes and metabolic syndrome is based on an underlying principle of control of insulin secretion and the theory that insulin resistance is a response to chronic hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. As such, the theory is intuitive and has substantial experimental support. It has generally been opposed by health agencies because of concern that carbohydrate will be replaced by fat, particularly saturated fat, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease as dictated by the so-called diet-heart hypothesis. Here we summarize recent data showing that, in fact, substitution of fat for carbohydrate generally improves cardiovascular risk factors. Removing the barrier of concern about dietary fat makes carbohydrate restriction a reasonable, if not the preferred method for treating type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. We emphasize the ability of low carbohydrate diets to improve glycemic control, hemoglobin A1C and to reduce medication. We review evidence that such diets are effective even in the absence of weight loss."

Ann Intern Med. 2014;161:309-318. doi:10.7326/M14-0180
http://www.drperlmutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Effects-of-Low-Carbohydrate-and-Low-Fat-Diets.pdf

Conclusion:

The low-carbohydrate diet was more effective for weight loss and cardiovascular risk factor reduction than the low-fat diet. Restricting carbohydrate may be an option for persons seeking to lose weight and reduce cardiovascular risk factors.

Vitamin B1 och PMS Smärtor

Vid PMS besvär kan vitamin B1 vara ett bra alternativ. Det är en välbeprövat molekyl som inte har några biverkningar.

I en studie (1996) fick 556 personer 100 mg Thiamine hydrochloride, dagligen i 90 dagar och 87% av dessa kvinnor blev helt botade från menssmärtor, och 8 % hade lindrigare besvär än innan [1].

I en annan, nyare studie (2014) drar man slutsatsen:
"Det verkar som vitamin B1 är effektiv vid återvinning av psykiska och fysiska symptom på PMS. Därför kan detta vitamin användas för att nå ett viktigt mål för midwifery, det vill säga minskning av symtomens svårighetsgrad av PMS, utan några biverkningar." [2]

Kanske, kanske kan vitamin B1 också ha inverkan på humörstörningar? där finns iallafall en klar relation mellan just PMS och humörstörningar. [3]
