Following the diet for 3 or 4 months may be fine, Brehm said. "But long-term? We don't know," she added.

An equally pertinent and maybe more urgent question is to ask "is a low fat diet healthy over the long term". No one seemed to require proof before it was pretty much shoved down the throat of an entire unsuspecting population. |
