Not just by the many low carbers and their personal experiences I see online but by some of the other experts too. I’m not going to start a back and forth of papers between us though.  You’re obviously able to look them up. As you saying differing expert opinions and conflicting studies muddy the water. Little in medicine is or was solid fact, it’s accepted consensus - until it’s not and new knowledge superceeds it. Yes they aim to account for them. They don’t always succeed. They sometime base conclusions on “assumed facts” and if those aren’t correct the whole house of cards falls. If weight loss lowers LDL and more specifically and importantly lowers risk I’ll take that and don’t really care how it works.  Weight loss for me on calorie deficit low fat regimes doesn’t work and puts glucose up. On low carb everything improves, including all other lipid measures. That link to a summary appears to confirm association (not disputed as far as I’m aware) and in that snippet I can’t see how causality is proved by the analysis or in which direction.</blockquote>
