Also what that ref calls the lowest carbohydrate quartile isn't low carb - nowhere near, it's got 39% of total calories coming for carbs a median of 214gms of carbs per day.Low carb starts at 130gms per day and Keto is under 20gms per day (though may be higher depending upon the individual).Their results were Relative Risk, rather than the real risk which is absolute risk? Look at the graphs to scale and see the negligible difference.They also had:lowest educational levelhighest alcohol consumptionequal highest % of smokersequal highest % with diabeteslowest amount of exerciseEdited to remove the exasperation from my post.</blockquote>
