Safety of low-carbohydrate diets

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

The main points of the pdf-not-available below may be:

" While new commercial incarnations of the low-carbohydrate diet are now

addressing

overall dietary adequacy by encouraging plenty of high-fibre vegetables, fruit,

low-glycaemic-index carbohydrates and healthier fat sources, this is not the

message

that reaches the entire public nor is it the type of diet adopted by many people

outside of the world of a well-designed clinical trial. Health effects of

long-term

ad hoc restriction of inherently beneficial food groups without a concomitant

reduction in body weight remains unanswered. "
