        Common misconception. People will eat sugary fat free products and think it is a healthy product, but think that bacon will kill them, while in all likelihood it is the other way around.

          Carbs are bad for you in high quantities the same as fats.

          Sugar isn’t actually much worse than any other carb either.

          But carb elimination has been linked to early death as well.

          It’s all about the amount you eat.

                The findings show observational associations rather than cause-and-effect and what people ate was based on self-reported data, which might not be accurate.

                And the authors acknowledge that since diets were measured only at the start of the trial and six years later, dietary patterns could have changed over the subsequent 19 years.

                So yeah… quite useless, and even if it wasn’t useless, the key takeaway was that the choice to eat animal vs plants to replace the loss of carb intake was the bad/good effect, not lowering carb intake.

                One point for effort though ;-)
