The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Reducing carbohydrates might mean missing out on required nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those obtained from vegetables, fruits and grains.
Increased consumption of animal-based products might lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the probability of coronary problems.

The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not much real proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and fatigue.
