Yep,
Two studies....
That isn't enough...
What studies we HAVEN'T seen are in calcium loss, cancer growth, hypertention etc...
And it will take years for it all to come out in the wash...
Me?
I love watching the spin cycle.

And it will take years for it all to come out in the wash... The first "official studies" were produced this year, 30+ years after the diet's phenomenal introduction. Maybe they'll do a follow up study in another 30+ years. Personally, I won't be waiting around to find out, eating a low fat diet and developing diabetes and heart disease. Thanks, but no thanks.
The correlation between the increase in per capita consumption of carbohydrates (from 30 to 40 percent over a ten year period) and the increase in cases of diabetes and heart disease per capita is enough to convince me that low fat dieting is an unprecedented medical-field-generated disaster.
Besides strong opinions, I have seen no hard data indicating any problems with low-carb diets.

I'm prone to calcium kidney stones. That's a bet I'll take.
