Study: Low-Carb Diet Linked to Early Death If you love carbs, but cut them <br />out of your diet in an effort to lose weight, <br />you might now have reason to rejoice. A research study published in <br />the medical journal The Lancet Public Health <br />suggests that diets both low or high in <br />carbohydrates might shorten your lifespan. Alternatively, diets including a moderate intake of carbs could promote a healthy lifespan. According to Scott Solomon, senior author on the study, this research is "the most comprehensive study of carbohydrate intake" ever. 15,400 middle-aged <br />Americans were involved <br />in the study over the <br />course of 25 years. Researchers concluded that those who ate a moderate amount of carbs lived longer than <br />those who had either low or high-carb diets. Sara Seidelmann, lead author, via statement According to co-author Walter Willett at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, "what counts most is the type of fat, protein and carbohydrate."
