This framing has caused harm to public perception of LCDs, exacerbated by inappropriate but predictable headlines such as "LCDs take four years off your life." It is difficult not to attribute deliberate deceptive intent, and this generates ill will and lack of trust. 3/
Ok then: restrictive of micro/macronutrients known to prevent disease Honestly I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's no more problematic to say that low-carb diets may increase your risk of, say, bowel cancer than to point out that vegan diets can cause anemia

Bowel cancer? Now you're bringing in a whole other belief based on problematic methodology. It's not comparable to anemia in vegetarians at all. Vegetarians are known to get anemia. Low carb ancestral societies historically had negligible cancer rates before Westernisation.

Anaemia is easily predicted by the low availability of heme iron, and phytates/other anti-absorbants in typical vegetarian diets. There is no equivalent coherent mechanism that blames meat: and as Amber says, cancer is rare in even long-lived ancestral meat eaters.
