The inverted commas around truth are mine, but the article can be found in the Daily Telegraph. Sadly it is behind a paywall but the journalist has enlisted Miguel Toribio-Mateas, director and chair of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine to offer his and presumably the association's view and advice.
It is a wishy washy article and I as I read it neither condemns nor approves, but is does however continue a myth that low carb diets are high in protein and refers back to a study covered in the previous days Daily Telegraph "proving" a link between low carb - high protein diets and heart problems. (The study of 19 (yes 19) people was conducted over 6 days. (yes you read that right a whole 6 days)).
What is interesting is the comment section. The previous piece and this article are, for the main, roundly criticised for inaccuracy.
