Western Diet Blamed Again

February 8, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Yet another study has been published suggesting that the high-calorie, low-fiber Western diet is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of North Carolina said that the study joins others in pointing the finger at high red meat consumption and highly processed foods as a contributor to a range of conditions. MetS is characterized by central obesity, hypertension, and disturbed glucose and insulin metabolism, and is associated with a range of conditions, including colorectal cancer.
