Are low carb diets associated with T2D? – Zoë Harcombe
Executive summary
* An Australian study aimed to assess the association of a low-carbohydrate diet score (LCD) with the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) using data from a study of Melbourne residents.
* The study concluded that the LCD score was associated with increased risk of T2D.
* The lowest carb group averaged 38% of their diet in the form of carbohydrate. A low-carb diet has not been studied, therefore.
