CARBS ARE GOOD FOR MEMORY

If you follow my blogs, you know I advocate eating a well-rounded diet.  Unless it is under strict doctor's orders, never eliminate a specific food group from your diet.  Here is another study showing one should not eliminate carbs from the diet.  A study by Tufts University showed that women who ate a low-carb Atkins-style diet performed 50% lower on memory tests than did the women who ate a low-calorie diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains (all carbs).  It is obvious the memory loss was related to cutting out the carbs because when the women returned to eating the carbs again, guess what; their scores went up.
