High-quality intake of carbohydrates is associated with lower prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in femoral arteries: the AWHS study
High-quality of the carbohydrates consumed, apart from their total amount, appear to protect from cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Our objective was to estimate the association between the quality of dietary carbohydrates and subclinical atherosclerosis in femoral and carotid arteries.
