John Yudkin Pure White and Deadly.
John Yudkin (8 August 1910 - 12 July 1995) was a British physiologist and scientist. He became internationally famous with his book Pure, White and Deadly (published in 1972) This book foretold the damage that sugar does to health and in my opinion is a masterpiece. He forecasted the epidemics of type two diabetes, obesity and heart disease. The book has been out of print for some time. Penguin books have just reprinted this great book. If you do not wish to purchase or funds are tight, it can be read free of charge here.

I presume your referring to Tom Smith the GP who said he would never follow a LC diet.
He quoted this study which at 40% cals from carbs is not a low carb diet. There's a good summary of the study here.

Thanks for the info, Eddie. You might enjoy the latest post at http://www.meandmydiabetes.com/2012/12/03/rick-johnson-longterm-sugar-use-can-kill-cellular-batteries-and-promote-fat-and-adhd/
It's about fructose/sugar and his book "the Fat Switch".
Interesting reading and an interesting blog with lots of interviews with low carb specialists like Eric Westman, Ron Rosedale, etc.
Cheers,
