    Supplemental Table 5 Lists Lipid Levels for the whole LCHF cohort of 2,034 participants. LDL-C levels were 3.71 mmol/l vs 3.62 mmol/l in the SD group. That’s a difference of 0.09, which can be converted to mg/dl by multiplying by 38.67. 0.09 * 38.67 = 3.48 mg/dl. Absolute mean levels of ApoB were 1.06 g/L and 1.03 g/L in the LCHF and SD groups, respectively.
    For interest - and because I know the question will arise - TG mean levels in the LCHF cohort were 133 mg/dl in the LCHF group and 137 mg/dl in the SD group.
    A point I do not make in the video regarding the JACC Advances paper, but that's worth considering, is that when they restrict analysis to subjects who completed at least 2 dietary questionnaires (Supplemental Table 7C), covering at least 2 days of eating (rather than 1), between group significance disappears, p = 0.34 (aHR CI: 0.49 - 8.14). This is likely due to decrease in power, but is nevertheless notable.
    With respect to my comment on the macronutrient profile of a Burger King Whopper and Fries, Nutritionix lists the following macronutrient profile(s):
    Whopper: 680 kCal, 40g fat, 55g total carbohydrate, 4g fiber, 35g protein
    Medium Fries: 328 kCal, 15g fat, 45g total carbohydrate, 3.4g fiber, 3.8g protein
    Math:
    55g fat * 9 Cal/g + 92.6g net carbohydrate*4 Cal/g + 38.8g protein*4 Cal/g =
    495 Cal fr Fat + 370.4 Cal fr Carbs + Cal + 155.2 Cal fr Pro
    %Cal Carbs using Cal reported = 370.4 Cal / (1008 Cal) = 36.7%
    * using the Cal sum from macros, which can and usually do vary slightly, the denominator is adjusted to 1020.6 Cal, and the %Cal Carbs is 36.3%

      If T2 and obesity was excluded, they wouldn't have enough participants.
      Pretty much every study could be titled 'Fat people get sick and die more often'. With being fat as the primary symptom of many issues.
      If you have overcome obesity and rebalanced your macros, you are 80% toward optimum health, and have better health than 80% of people.
      After that, the top 20% lament they are not specifically studied, and argue about the optimum recipe for human health.
      However the vegan diet should not be considered in the healthy category. It is protein and animal nutrient deficient. We are not ruminants.
      Vegetarian can be OK since it is supported by some key animal foods.
      Omni should be OK.. except the lack of restriction leads to foods we like to eat displacing foods we should eat and limiting health.

Because both of my parents died from complications of diabetes, I followed a low carb diet but stillI became a type two diabetic in 2000. I have had no complications, follow a ketogenic diet, and have outlived most of those who ridiculed me back in the day. I wish you had been around fifty or sixty years ago.

      18g fat, 32g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g protein, works out to: 162kcal from fat, 124kcal from carbs, and 12kcal from protein, ie. 124 / (162 + 124 + 12) = 41,6% of energy from carbs
      That would fit into a lot of studies' definition of low carb, which is often defined as anything below 50% of calories from carbs, especially in older studies. Sad to see the same thing still going on. Add in some Large Hash Browns, chicken nuggets or mozzarella sticks with the pie and you'd probably be under the 37% too (I cannot be bothered to do the calculations).

    PS: Most importantly, what you're right about is that we should _all_ want to know if we're doing something that harms us. However, I've got pretty good evidence what I've done has been _good_ for me. I haven't done _everything_ perfectly, but I've learned from my behavior and adjusted perpetually into the right direction.
    PPS: I used to be keto. Now I'm low-carb, high-protein, adjusting to optimal protein and optimal natural fiber. Carnivores can and will say you don't need fiber, but I'd like to keep my microbiome, and I appreciate that it can also contribute BHB.

    Dr. Norwitz, you are presenting a fine job of bringing the issue of data integrity and honest reporting to people in a way that can be easily understood. One thing that always bothers me is how "keto" is defined; to regard a keto "lifestyle" as ~50g carbs per day is totally unacceptable - LC is better defined as 0-30g/day. Unfortunately the popular press doesn't want to go into even that level of detail. The draw toward sensationalism is just to great for many to resist.
