Yet another study, this one from Denmark, spotlights the value of spurning those quickie carbs, Reuters reports.
Indeed, Dr. Helle Hare-Bruun and colleagues from Copenhagen University Hospital suggest that staying away from simple carbohydrates and eating plenty of fiber-rick foods may help women avoid packing on pounds as they get older.
On the flip side, they discovered that normal-weight women who more high-glycemic foods gained more weight, more fat, and more padding around the middle over a six-year period than women who ate a low-glycemic index diet.
The researchers report their findings in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
