I just logged on to post this also, Hopeful. You beat me to it! This is interesting information coming out of the WHEL study, however, I am finding it hard to believe that a difference of ~4g carbohydrate (one group increased by 2g, one decreased by 2g). I personally don't believe we are going to find one sole factor that increases/decreases recurrence but rather combination of many factors. It would be interesting to know the types of carbs consumed by both groups (fiber containing vs. candy/fat containing carbs). Also, it would be interesting to know the average fat (and what type) in both of these comparison groups.
