According to a study in a recent edition of the Annals of Internal Medicine, a low-carbohydrate diet heavy on animal protein and fat is associated with greater long-term mor tality, while a plant-based, low-carbohydrate diet is linked to lower mortality.

Those who ate a plant-based, low-carbohydrate diet had a reduced risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
