Health hazards of low-carb diet

I was reading an on-line newspaper (www.floridatoday.com) this morning and found something shocking at the end of an article about low-carb potatoes. It said:

"The American Association of Diabetes Educators, American Institute for Cancer Research, the American Obesity Association and Shape Up America have joined to say low-carb diets increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and several types of cancer. "

Yikes! I wonder why these organizations aren't shouting this from the rooftops?
