Safrole is regarded by the U.S. government to be a weak carcinogen in rats.[4] It naturally occurs in a variety of spices such as basil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. In that role safrole is believed, although not proven, to make a small but measurable contribution to the overall incidence of human cancer, equal to the hazards presented by orange juice and tomatoes.[5] In the United States, it was once widely used as a food additive in root beer, sassafras tea, and other common goods, but was banned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after its carcinogenicity in rats was discovered. Today, safrole is also banned for use in soap and perfumes by the International Fragrance Association.

I think the real problem is one fits all diets. My dad is diabetic and he needs to eat certain meals at certain times. Myself I usually eat almost nothing during the day then in the evening I work out weights and almost completely deplete myself then as soon as I am done pack a huge carb and protein meal like some serious beef and beers and then go to bed. If I do not put away a huge meal before bed I am shot the next day. My dad would be destroyed by my diet but for me it is all about packing the dinner reload or I am trashed the next day. Everyone is different. If I eat a good meal the night before I can function all day on nothing. If I don't eat a big dinner I can not make up for it no matter what I do the next day.

These results are contradicted by two recently published large-scale, long-term studies that compared lowered carbohydrate diets with other diets. Both studies showed that for most people, a modest reduction in carbohyrate intake will have little effect on weight loss. Both Studies are in the New England Journal of Medicine - one in 2008 and one in February 2009.

A low carbohydrate diet will, however, result in health benefits other than weight loss. Notably, a low carbohydrate diet will result in a much better lipid profile and lowered risk of heart disease. A low carbohydrate diet will result in lowered LDL-cholesterol; increased HDL-Cholesterol and lowered triglycerides. -
