This is not what i would call a thoughtful article. It is more like a rant filled with gross over generalizations about low carb doctors. Certainly there is plenty of room for criticism of those in the low carb community that overstate their claims but that can be said about any group of advocates about almost any issue you can think of. There are many thoughtful low carb doctors who back up their advocacy of low carb diets with scientific evidence and experiential knowledge. There is no mention of these people. This is a rant not a thoughtful critique and it makes no mention of the long history of crazed low carb demonization, starting in relatively recent times, with what Dr Atkins endured and still, even after his death, continues to endure. We need careful consideration of issues not rants that paint everyone with the same brush.
