Letter: That's a yes to lowering carbs from me

Published 27 January 2021

From Alison Harvey, Frome, Somerset, UK

Further to your article on the mixed evidence of the health benefits of low-carb diets, I have yet to see a creditable argument against cutting out processed sugar, limiting carbohydrates and consuming them only with proteins to avoid blood sugar spikes, and limiting or removing animal fats (9 January, p 32). The resulting diet is healthy, inexpensive and varied.
