Kimkins Controversy - Kimkins Scam

Serious Curiosity About Low Carb Diets

There is a very broad spectrum with regard to curiosity in human beings. We have to assume that any people who have joined Kimkins in the past several months are not very curious. If they were curious, they would have done a teeny bit of research and found out about all the negatives.

I am very curious. I am so curious that I just went to the trouble of registering at the New England Journal of Medicine so that I could look at the articles about research into Low Carb Diets. The first one that I read sums up a very large study of over 80,000 women that found that low carb dieting did not increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Low-Carbohydrate-Diet Score and the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease in Women was published in 2006. My free registration only allows me to view the full text of studies that are over 6 months old.

One interesting aside is that data from nurses that submitted reports of less than 500 calories per day were excluded from the study because the data was considered implausible. 3500 calories was considered implausibly high.
