>What is the true danger of a diet high in fat and protein and very low in
carbs?

i think the true danger is not to the individual on such a diet, but to
society in general:
the economy would be in trouble since not many people would have to go to
doctors, the pharmaceutical companies stocks would fall, all those HMO's and
insurance companies would be laying people off, everyone who works for Post,
Kellogg's and General Mills would go on unemployment...
you get the picture.
anyone who would follow such a diet is being very self-centered and un-civic
minded.
