There's something very real going on here," said Glenys Babcock, a vice-president of public affairs for Ipsos-Reid in Toronto, which has conducted various studies on dieting. One Ipsos-Reid study showed that 61 per cent of Canadians currently limit their carb intake "to avoid gaining weight" while 6 per cent are on some form of low- carb or no-carb diet. --------------------
Ipsos-Reid is a company that does public opinion polling.
Oh yeah... and McDonald's is now on the low-carb bandwagon. Low-carb has gone mainstream.
