US researchers seek to end carbs v fat 'diet wars'

Review seeks to find common ground, arguing that what matters for most people is quality

A group of scientists is trying to end the "diet wars" raging over how much fat and carbohydrate we should eat, arguing that what matters for most people is quality.

A review by US researchers with diverse perspectives on the fraught fat v carbs question attempts to find the common ground. Above all, they say, we should be ditching saturated for unsaturated fat and refined grains for wholegrains and non-starchy vegetables. And they list the unknowns, which need more research.
