Dr. Briffa Versus UK’s NHS: Low-Carb Diets Are Better Than Low-Fat

The United Kingdom’s National Health Service recently published guidelines favoring low-fat diets over low-carb ones. Dr. John Briffa objects: 

“See here http://authoritynutrition.com/23-studies-on-low-carb-and-low-fat-diets/ for a comprehensive review of 23 studies which demonstrates superior results achieved by low-carb diets with regard to weight loss and disease markers.

I wish to formally complain about the inaccuracies in this article and its (to me) clear bias and lack of balance.”
