Reconsidering the Risks of Low Carb Diets.

A new study has found that low fat diets can extend a person's lifespan, while low carb diets can increase the risk of an early death. Researchers from Harvard University and Tulane University teamed up with Chinese scientists to study the links between diet and length of life. They found that people who ate a low fat diet, whether healthy or not, significantly reduced their likelihood of an early death, compared to people on high fat diets. Meanwhile, people on keto-like diets were 28 percent more likely to die from any cause when compared to their high-carb peers.
