HEALTHY DIETS AND SCIENCE: Low carbohydrate diets help in the treatment of diabetes

The raison d'etre of this website is to provide you with hard scientific information which may help you make informed decisions in your quest for health (so far I have blogged concise summaries of over 1,500 scientific studies and have had three books published).

My research is mainly focused on the effects of cholesterol, saturated fat and statin drugs on health. If you know anyone who is worried about their cholesterol levels and heart disease, or has been told to take statin drugs you could send them a link to this website, and to my statin or cholesterol or heart disease books.

Kennedy observes: "There is now mounting evidence that these (low carbohydrate) diets can lead to effective weight loss and may thus be a useful intervention for patients who have, or are at risk of, diabetes".
