Low carb diets have existed, by far, longer than high carb diets. Diabetes, heart disease and obesity rose their heads when diets became high in carbohydrates.
From the info I have read, liver and/or gall bladder problems occur on Atkins if there was a pre-existing condition. If the American Heart Association can , reluctantly, claim that those on this diet lower their cholesterol blah, blah, then the diet is healthy.
Again, people will often speak of deaths that occur but I have yet to see a name or any documentation. Even if they had proof I would ignore it because I know that it is keeping me healthy. There are many doctors who stand by this WOE.
