We here all know that not all carbs are bad, but let's take a guess at what the message will be once it gets digested for the greater public. On one hand you will have a carb is bad message and on the other hand you will have manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon to offer over-processed "low carb" products.

I know the tendency is to oversimplify complex ideas. I also know that people do not like to give up their favorite food, so the tendency (much exploited by the industry) is to replace their food with a substitute. In the case of low-fat the cure proved worse than the disease.

What I am afraid will get lost in all this, is that a big part of the problem is not just carbs but processed junk-food.

You and I know all this, but look how the media can't even get the principles of Atkins correctly. I am just concerned about what is going to happen...that the industry will twist the message in order to sell products. That it will be "fat is bad" all over again.
