Laura Dolson at her Low Carb Diets Blog today reports on a recent study that compared micronutrient levels in three diets: Atkins, Zone, and LEARN. Visit her post for the surprising and worrisome results of this study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
[In a nutshell, “micronutrients” are important vitamins and minerals present in small amounts in our food.]
Monica Reinagel has also reviewed the study. I respect both of their opinions.
