A recent Nature article (18 March) refers to concerns about safety of low-carb diets:
'One recent review of the safety of low-carbohydrate diets reeled off an alarming list of potential problems: "Complications such as heart arrhythmias, cardiac contractile function impairment, sudden death, osteoporosis, kidney damage, increased cancer risk, impairment of physical activity and lipid abnormalities can all be linked to long-term restriction of carbohydrates in the diet."'
Is anybody on the list able to point me in the direction of any similar review naming possible complications from the 'standard' diet - low-fat, high-carb?
