seems to me what is mostly missing in his junk food experiment are meats.

Sugar has distinct and unmistakable effects on human metabolism. We couldn't confuse those effects from those of meat for example. And removing or significantly reducing sugar from a diet also has unique and unmistakable effects on metabolism. But don't take my word for it, read it for yourself in GCBC.

By 1955, Pete Ahrens of Rockefeller University came to this same conclusion although Ahrens was specifically studying triglycerides, rather than the LFDL particles that carry the triglycerides. Ahrens was considered by many investigators to be the best scientist in the world with regard to lipid metabolism. When he gave lectures, he showed two photos showing two test tubes of blood serum obtained from the same patient. One test tube was obtained when the patient was eating a high-carbohydrate diet and one while eating a high fat diet. One test tube was milky white and the other was absolutely clear. The clear plasma came during the high fat diet. Elliott Joslin reported the same thing 30 years earlier. He wrote: ěthe percent of fat rises with the severity of the disease and is especially related to the quantity of carbohydrate being oxidized rather than the fat [consumed].

We could say that the cause of these metabolic effects is about as obvious as the cause of a burnt down house.
