High protein diet

[anthrax]

What a BS !

Missouri doctors describe the case of an apparently healthy 16-year-old girl who collapsed suddenly and died after spending one to two weeks on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet.

Electrolyte imbalances due to the diet, and the resulting damage to her heart function, were likely responsible, the physicians who cared for her report in a recent issue of the Southern Medical Journal

[.....]

Very high-protein/low-carbohydrate diets result in a condition called ketosis. In ketosis, the body has used up its preferred fuel reserves, glycogen derived from carbohydrates, and instead burns fat. This generates substances called ketone bodies, which can be smelled in the breath.

"It is a worrying set of circumstances when kids die suddenly," Robinson said. "The whole point of writing the paper is to ask clinicians to keep their eyes open. If kids come in with sudden death and they're on this kind of diet, we really have to start paying more attention to it."

As always, one idiot ruins it for everyone. Although I agree that the article state congruently true infomation (electrolyte wise), this is totally a mistake made by the girl and not the diet. The problem is easily solved w/ some daily multi vit/min combo, as well as basic supplementation. As you know a drop of precaution, can result in a lake of safety.
