>'The findings "will disappoint those who, from professional experience, will continue to defend their low carb cult, but contributes to the overwhelming body of evidence that supports a balanced approach to caloric intake recommended globally by public health bodies," Collins added.' https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/17/health/low-carb-high-carbohyd...

Given the obvious problems with this study (their definition of "low carb" is wrong), this is just an astounding display of hubris.

And 37% is not low-carb. If anything what this shows is that if you have moderate carbs, you won't be doing so well. But if you have moderate carbs + more plant-based food, you'll be healthier.

So all this study showed has nothing to do with carbs, but everything to do with eating more veggies = you'll be healthier.

I bet that if had they replaced not just part of the meat/animal fat with veggies, but also another 20% of those "low carbs", they would've gotten even healthier people (and on an actual low-carb diet, too!).
