"New research links diabetes, heart disease risk to diet high in carbs, not fat."

It's true because fats aren't broken down into sugar in our bodies, carbs are (apart from sugar itself of course). Love my fats haha0

I've known this for awhile. It's great to see some good research going on around it.0

A great question. Hasn't Volek done studies on that as well? Limited, granted...
I'd also wonder: what percentage of Americans (for example) has metabolic syndrome based on their descriptor: "defined as the presence of at least three of five factors that increase the risk for heart disease and diabetes (excess belly fat, elevated blood pressure, low “good” cholesterol, insulin resistance or glucose intolerance, and high triglycerides)".
I'm gonna bet it's not an insignificant percentage.0 -

I'm pretty sure no one ever thought smoking was "good for you," maybe just not "bad for you." Difference.0 -

I think we're building up to a more widespread and thorough test. (Or at least, I'd like to believe we are...)
The ball's just starting to get rolling on this stuff, after ~40 years of going the wrong direction.0 -
I mean it is what it is... You just have to take it for what it's worth given the population they carried it out on.
It may not have practical application to average, healthy individuals etc..0 -
