Absolutely, but one thing that low carb diets save you from is table sugar. That is one of the most poisonous things we ingest on a regular basis!! It wouldn't be so bad to have a little at a time, but, USFSDTAlum, you're absolutely right about the low-fat craze introducing WAY too much sucrose into the population. That destroyed the delicate balance of insulin in everyone who participated which, I'm sure, didn't help with weight loss! So, high protein hurts your kidneys (and raises your blood pressure, cholesterol and sodium intake) and low-fat/high sugar damages your blood in other ways. Both toxify the blood and can destroy organs over time. And that really is
over time unless you're already unhealthy.
