Why do you address her like she is a child?

As for the Inuit - there isn't enough info about how their "no carb
diet" effected them as there weren't enough scientific studies done
before western eating habits caught up with them. What *is* known is
that Inuit life expectancy was lower than that of Westerners. Even in
the 21st century Canadians in general live 12 years longer than the Inuit.

There is very little evidence that a no carb diet does no harm, but
plenty that it does, especially in the long run.
