Dr. Atkins revolutionized the dieting world when he introduced the Atkins diet, a low-carb, high-protein, high-fat diet, which promises lifelong weight loss and maintenance. However the American Heart Association (AHA) does not recommend this extremely low-carb diet. It argues that Atkins Diet restricts intake of healthy carbs that provide essential nutrients to the body. Epidemiological studies have indicated that people who eat high-carbs diets have normal incidences of certain chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and certain bone diseases, but such incidence of diseases is lower in people eating high-carbs diets than in people eating high-protein diets.
If the statements above are true, which of the following inference can be drawn by them?
A. Atkins Diet is high in saturated fats, and as such it adversely affects blood lipid profiles (cholesterol, LDLs, HDLs).
B. The diet revolution happened because Dr. Atkins pioneered the concept of high-protein, high-fat diet.
C. People who eat high-protein diets suffer from chronic diseases.
D. The more carbs you eat, the more healthy you will be.
E. The Atkins diet revolution may be beneficial for weight loss but may cause a higher than normal incidence of certain cardio vascular diseases.
