Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)·2018

Higher intake of processed carbohydrates is linked to unfavorable changes in blood lipids, potentially impacting metabolic syndrome and heart disease risk. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Metabolic Research

Background:

  • Dietary carbohydrate intake is a focus for weight loss strategies.
  • Understanding carbohydrate's impact on blood lipids is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the association between carbohydrate intake and serum lipids.
  • To analyze cross-sectional and longitudinal data on diet and lipid profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Collected blood samples and dietary data from 574 healthy adults over five quarters.
  • Utilized linear mixed models to assess relationships between serum lipids and carbohydrate intake.
  • Adjusted for known risk factors for blood lipids.

Main Results:

  • Higher carbohydrate intake, glycemic index (GI), and glycemic load (GL) correlated with lower HDL-C and higher triacylglycerol.
  • Increased total carbohydrate and GL were associated with lower total and LDL-C.
  • Longitudinal analysis showed GL positively associated with total and LDL-C, and carbohydrate percentage inversely with HDL-C.

    • Conclusions:

    • Increased intake of processed carbohydrates has complex, often unfavorable effects on lipid profiles.
    • Findings suggest implications for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and coronary heart disease.
    • Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm associations and guide lipid management.
