He's got a point about fruit. I miss fruit -- although I do sneak a bit here and now. But he's very off-base about the low carb diet being a fad. It's been around far too long and works far too well to stick into that box. He's also stating some things (like implications for mood and the immune system, osteoperosis) that simply have never been demonstrated as a side effect of low carb. He is using scare tactics that undermine his legitimate points.
He's also ignoring the facts by writing off low carb as just a reduced calorie diet. All diets are reduced calorie, but the jury is in, and low carb works better even with more calories than a low fat regimen.
He's not as dogmatic and close minded as some we've seen posted here, but he's clearly got an agenda that isn't neutral toward all nutritional approaches.
