Very interesting article in the British Medical Journal regarding diet composition in regards to cardiovascular risk, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
A critical review in Nutrition also concluded that dietary carbohydrate restriction is the “single most effective intervention for reducing all of the features of the metabolic syndrome” and should be the first approach in diabetes management with the very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (<10% carbs) revealing the greatest falls in glycated hemoglobin and reduction in the use of medications with benefits occurring even without weight loss.
Shifting focus away from calories and emphasising a dietary pattern that focuses on food quality rather than quantity will help to rapidly reduce obesity, related diseases and cardiovascular risk.

It's usually a good idea to cite your sources if you are going to copy and paste..0 -
Not to mention the plagiarized thread title, which is a quote by Ann Wigmore ("Lithuanian holistic health practitioner, nutritionist, whole foods advocate, and health educator"...thank you Google) and seemingly has nothing to do with the content posted.
ETA - well I guess by putting the title in "quotes" calling it plagiarized might be a bit of a stretch...still always good to give credit to original authors though.0 -

fruits and vegetables and legumes and oats and other whole grains are packed with nutrition...and they are carbs.

The article is essentially an argument against current recommendations. Given the existence of the current recommendations, it is obviously disagreed with by many.
It's about people with diabetes (and contrary to the apparent opinion of some, not everyone has diabetes).
It assumes that people with diabetes can't (or are unlikely to) lose weight.
It assumes (and this is one of the more controversial parts that I think demonstrates bias given the variety of studies I know of) that low carb is a more effective way to lose weight. (The main evidence relied on for this are studies that have been discussed here before, in which the successes with the low carb diet lost substantially less than I or many others at MFP did without going low carb.)
But, hey, there's never enough low carb evangelism on MFP, so why not.
I prefer my popcorn without butter, though -- butter makes it soggy.0 -

I think a big problem is putting food on this sort of pedestal. It's neither medicine or poison. It's nutrition and it is a chief source of pleasure. The article is drama. I dismiss it with a wave of my wand. *pouf0
