The supposed sweet spot in that study for carb intake, 50-55 percent, leaves room for about 30 percent fat if protein is assumed to fall around the usual 15-20 percent. Pretty close to MyPlate/food pyramid numbers. The lowest carb intake group had the highest current smoking status, and the lowest "never a smoker" status. Of course this was corrected for, and of course there's a limit to how accurately something like this can be corrected for.
Also more likely to be diabetic in the lowest carb intake group. Given the choice, diabetic rodents naturally gravitate towards a lower carbohydrate diet that keeps their blood glucose more moderate. That means high fat and high carb. If the high fat choices available are oreos and potato chips, I wonder what happens? Pure fat and protein sources might be a different story. I'm not diabetic, but I was insulin resistant, and did find that once I was on a high fat, low carb diet I actually preferred it.
