Id say the highest you could possibly call "low carb" is ~100 g/day. That'd be ~400 cal/day, or 20% of a 2000 cal/day diet.

And really 100 g/day is a lot. Most people on "low carb" diets are going to be eating half or a quarter of that.

So, this is just more ridiculous nutrition research funded by the US government, produced by academia.

what about the relationship between carbs and fibers ? some say that fibers modify the gut flora in ways that change how carbs are digested.

What about it? I'm just saying this study has nothing to do with a low carb diet.

They made up their own definition of "low carb", then people who read the results get confused and try to apply the conclusions to actual "low carb" diets.

I was just asking if you heard about stuff like that. Nothing more.

Sorry. I don't have any informed opinion about that.
