Low-carbohydrate diets are leading Americans to poor health and are spawning a rip-off industry of “carb-friendly” products, health experts and consumer advocates said in announcing the formation of a group called the Partnership for Essential Nutrition.

The group said it wanted to help educate Americans about the need for healthy carbohydrates such as vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains.

Jeffrey Prince of the American Institute for Cancer Research said that low-carb diets were “increasing the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases.”
