(CNN) - According to research done by a group of European and American scientists and professors, long term low-carb, high protein diets could be bad for women's health.
They found that a one-tenth decrease of carbohydrate intake or an increase in the amount of protein eaten, statistically raised the frequency of cardiovascular disease.
The researchers sampled more than 43,000 Swedish women between 30 and 49 years old.
They followed up with the women for an average of about 16 years.
The goal was to study the long term consequences of low-carb diets on heart health, when there's no consideration of the protein sources.
The study says high protein diets may be okay nutritionally if the protein is plant based, like quinoa or almonds.
The study is published by the BMJ Group.
