Like what? I found some at the Soft Drinks Association, the Sugar Association, and several drug makers publications, but they were opinions, not studies.

But I haven't found anything that shows eating a balanced diet in all food groups causes long-term harmful effects to the body. For that reason, I would opt for the "safe" way.

Of course, eating healthy balanced food is right way. Just avoid high-sugar/carbs, stick to the basics, meats and vegetables, and you're safe, that's what low-carb is all about.
Unfortunately, most people consider "balance" to be high sugar, starch, and low fat-solubile nutrients. This is a 70's fad, that resulted in too many health problems and obesity.
