To carb or not to carb…

A moderate balanced diet with exercise is best, says the lead researcher of yet another study, splashed on the front page of the news news site. A low-carb diet causes artery damage. Fair enough. But right next to the article is a link of a news article from 5 years ago, which screams ‘Scientists endore Atkins diet’. I opened it out of curiousity, to find a totally contradicting results to today’s story, wherein the scientists exalts the virtues of low-carb high-protein diet to lose weight. Scrolling a bit more, you stumble upon the funding agency for the study; Robert Atkins Foundation. Now now!. If that weren’t enough, the BBC in its dedication to airing opposing viewpoints, interviews a professional of British Dietetic Association, who opines against fad diets. And can you guess what her name is, right, it is Dietzmina Govindji. :)
