Science, Research, and Recent Articles of Interest

I thought it would be neat to list some recent published articles about low carb research from a variety of sources. Hopefully this is interesting reading for low carbers and for those considering the low carb way of life.

There have been alot of studies recently and pro low carb research in the news. Various studies are discovering low carb advantages in long term weight loss, compared to other diet programs, and in metabolic or hormonal advantages we are only just beginning to understand. This is special interest as recent articles are highlighting the growth in overweight Americans and higher numbers of folks struggling with diabetes and blood sugar issues.
