I'm going to get shot down in flames, but you know what? I'm past the point of caring.
I have absolutely no doubt that in some people, a diet low in carbohydrates is a bad thing for thier health; just in the same way that for SOME people smoking will lead to cancer. I understand that as such there is probably merit in being warned of the POSSIBLE outcome. BUT in both instances I believe that the majority (the vast majority at that) are unaffected by these 'worst case scenarios'.
Then there are the instances where no-one seems to be able to make up thier minds:
Red wine is good for you...drink in moderation.
Red wine is bad for you...avoid like the plague.
We are swiftly getting to the point where, in one way or another, EVERYTHING that we eat, or do, is going to 'be bad for us' and in some way or another be demonised, restricted, or discouraged, and I am SO tired of the Nanny State society we are becoming.
Incidentally I DO restrict my intake of Carbohydrates, and NO I do not smoke.
