[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2098038, member: 510611"] 4th paragraph of Summary introduction provoked a raised eyebrow: "More research is needed to ascertain the long-term health impacts of a low-carbohydrate diets, including on heart health." not sure at this point why they are targeting heart health or feel the need to draw attention to it...will have to read on, although at 1st bullet point I transitioned to irritable...... [SIZE=5]"The BDA believes that:[/SIZE] Low-carbohydrate diets (i.e. defined as diets containing between 50g and 130g carbohydrate) can be effective in managing weight, improving glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk in people with Type 2 diabetes in the short term i.e. less than 12 months (Diabetes UK 2018). This is probably due to the accompanying reduction in energy (calorie) intake and subsequent weight loss (Diabetes UK 2018)." Where is the evidence that it is "probably due to" calorie reduction, why say that? aaargh! It's fine not to know, it's fine to say we need more evidence, it is not fine to pre-empt that evidence (you don't know, you can't know, there is a fairly vigorous public debate between very respected and qualified individuals taking place, books have been published etc etc). My toys have been ejected from the pram, I will have to try to read on later....... [/QUOTE]
