Italian specialists from the Institute in Milan, in their new research project, determined that the presence of a large number of flour and pasta, white bread in the diet of a woman leads to serious problems of the cardiovascular system.
This topic has been left over for a long time and thoroughly studied by scientists. For the experiment, scientists selected 47,000 volunteers. According to the results obtained, the scientists concluded that white bread, flour and pasta products double the chances of developing heart and vascular diseases, and the researchers also found that consumption of the same products by men is completely harmless to their body and does not affect the overall health .
White bread and pasta have a high glycemic index, due to which the body absorbs such products fairly quickly. A glycemic index is an indicator that indicates the level of sugar in the blood after eating foods. This index is set for each product in comparison of the body's response to glucose (100% glycemic index) with the reaction caused by food. Different foods have their own glycemic index values, and they are compared with the glycemic glucose index. When you use foods that have low glycemic index values, the blood sugar level rises slowly enough. The higher the level of glycemic index, the faster the blood sugar level increases. The use of macaroni and white bread leads to a sharp increase in sugar, so their frequent use harms the general health of a person. Such sharp jumps of sugar have a negative effect on the heart muscle, which leads to diseases of blood vessels and the heart, and sharp changes in sugar in the blood have a negative effect on the human eye and teeth. Previously, scientists have already conducted research on the effect on the human body of white bread and confirmed the fact that frequent use of bread leads to problems with the organs of vision and teeth. In addition, a few years ago, experts from the United States concluded that children under the age of two years are not allowed to consume white bread, since it leads to disruption of the formation and normal functioning of the immune system.
Earlier studies by William Davis confirmed the relationship between excessive consumption of white bread and the resulting feeling of fatigue. Modern varieties of wheat contain gliadin (GMO protein), which increases appetite, which leads to overeating and obesity.
Nutritionists recommend eating more rye bread, as little as possible to eat pastries and pasta, if possible, replacing them with vegetables and fruits.
However, not only some foods can harm women's health. Experts have previously studied the composition of cosmetic products and concluded that such products contain enough harmful chemicals that eventually accumulate in the body and cause irreparable harm to women's health.
