> The latest nutrition supports low carb diets, as can be seen with Atkins and Keto diets.
That statement is not supported by any reliable studies.
The latest nutrition supports a healthy mix of carbs and fats, specifically whole grain and unsaturated fats. Not a monodiet of fat, nor a monodiet of carbs, nor processed carbs, nor saturated fats.
Focusing too much on a fat-based diet causes massive kidney issues, just as a too much carb-based diet causes circulatory issues.
Could you point to the studies that lead you to that conclusion? Meta-studies or similar ideally.
(Not getting at you for your viewpoint - I'm making this comment to a few people in this thread who say that the latest research supports their argument. You may well be right, but I don't know enough about your background to take your word for it, so I'd be interested to see your sources. )
I recently have had to conclude that HN is not the right audience to express this kind of ideas and not be downvoted.
I am fine with people taking "religious" positions when it comes to a text editor or the latest web framework, the problem is that nutritional choices have environmental and health-related consequences, so I would rather them be fact-based.
Also, I wonder what we're going to see next on HN, flat earth? Chemtrails? After a recent submission which was also related to nutritional topics, I have been considering leaving HN altogether.
