Only calories matter?

``As high-protein/fat diets are thought to have adverse effects on
kidneys and liver, kidney and liver fun ctions were regularly
monitored. They were found to be unaffected by this diet.''

So, in that study, children had no impairment in liver or kidney.

That was a 12 weeks study. I doubt *any* diet would manage to damage the
liver or kidney in such a small amount of time, no matter how unbalanced.
Both these organs are extremelly sturdy, it takes repeated assaults on them
to finally cause them to malfunction. If one really wanted to see the health
impacts of these diets, one would have to study them over several years, on
a large population. That would be an interresting study in itself. I'm not
convinced extreme low-fat is any healthier than extreme low-carb btw.
