Well, if what they studied was fasting or calorie restriction and they didn't study low carbohydrate diets at maintenance or other calorie levels, then they can't really say that. It would be interesting to see if the same effects could be had from a LC diet, or if the other effects of fasting are at work (like autophagy) and that's what's providing the benefit alone or in conjunction with the ketones.
