Then I discuss the study mentioned in last week's Dear Mark in which removing polyphenol - rich fruits and vegetables from the diet
improved oxidative stress markers instead of worsening them.

Several trials have demonstrated that the cardiomyocytes of rodents maintained on IER become more resilient to ischaemic injury induced by occlusion of the left coronary artery 18, 21, 29, which translated into
improved long - term survival following such injury in one study.21 In addition, within these studies, associations have been found between the cardiovascular improvements and
markers of
oxidative stress 24, 30, inflammatory responses 18, 24, 29, 30 and increases in circulating levels of adiponectin.29 Collectively, these reported changes in biochemical and physiological cardiovascular risk factors would be expected to suppress atherosclerotic development and preserve cardiovascular health.
Some important studies include: • Beneficial effects of a high carbohydrate, high fiber diet on hyperglycemic diabetic men (1976) • Response of non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients to an intensive program of diet and exercise (1982) • Diet and exercise in the treatment of NIDDM: The need for early emphasis (1994) • Toward
improved management of NIDDM: A randomized, controlled, pilot intervention using a low fat, vegetarian diet (1999) • The effects of a low - fat, plant - based dietary intervention on body weight, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity (2005) • A low - fat vegan diet
improves glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in a randomized clinical trial in individuals with type 2 diabetes (2006) • A low - fat vegan diet and a conventional diabetes diet in the treatment of type 2 diabetes: a randomized, controlled, 74 - wk clinical trial (2009) • Vegetarian diet
improves insulin resistance and
oxidative stress markers more than conventional diet in subjects with Type 2 diabetes (2011) • Glycemic and cardiovascular parameters
improved in type 2 diabetes with the high nutrient density (HND) diet (2012)
In obese subjects, a modified 8 - 10 week alternate - day fasting regimen resulted in weight loss, reduced blood pressure and heart rate, and
improved markers for cardiovascular health, such as decreased total cholesterol, decreased LDL and triglycerides, increased HDL concentrations and decreased
oxidative stress and systemic inflammation, suggesting that alternate - day fasting might be a novel strategy for decreasing body weight and
improving cardiovascular health in the obese population (64,68).

improve markers of
oxidative stress in men.
