Comment on Dietary Carbohydrates Impair Healthspan and Promote Mortality

Comments

Can anyone provide a TLDR on what exactly the conclusion of this article is? My experience with a low-carb diet is quite similar to that of @whalesalad, and it remains much more effective than any other diet or a strict exercise regimen.

the TLDR is that this study tells us nothing about what diet is good for longevity.

Dehghan et al. (2017)) found that carbohydrate intake was associated with increased total mortality. By contrast, any (saturated/monounsaturated/polyunsaturated) type of dietary fat reduced the likelihood of dying.
