The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Cutting out carbohydrates might mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, particularly those obtained from fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is damned hard (though certainly not impossible) for vegetarians to take up a low carb diet.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, onions and welsh onion)
The onion family is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is very little scientific evidence obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system.
