That's a very good point, and you could be very right about that since they really don't seem to give any information about what the control group was eating, and we know that as time goes on, UPFs are infiltrating European diets more, so they are becoming more like SAD diets. (Although I doubt they're anywhere near as bad as the typical SAD diet, at least not quite yet)
And considering how much the Atlantic diet allows in carbs, meats, and fats, it doesn't sound all that much different from a 1950's standard US diet... actually sounds like it's not all that much different from the French paradox diet, at least as far as macros are concerned. |
