In regards to recent headlines about low-fat diet being better for fat loss than low carb, this experiment is faulty in two respects. A figure of 29% carb is lowish carb but it is not less than 10% carb, which is what a proper low-carb diet is.

When I read a recent article by Fiachra Ó Cionnaith (Irish Examiner, May 30) which headlined that our alcohol consumption was 700 times the upper limit laid down by those in the know, I was puzzled by this for a bit.
