Did you actually read the paper, or just its abstract?
Edit: it's a genuine question, folks. This is a science community.
how could he have read the abstract? The link is a science article, not the study.
Where did I mention that I was referring to the article?
The parent poster wrote "the paper," so I was referring to the paper. Not the article.
Im betting when he said paper he meant the link in the post. At least I thought so. I get what you are saying but in an internet forum I usually assume words are used in the most generic sense.
Well, that just falls in the realms of opinions. I could agree with you in a different context. But in this community about scientific discussion, I'll assume the parent poster meant paper when they wrote paper.
Regardless, that's why I asked the question as a clarification.
fair enough.
FWIW I think it was a fair question.
Hmm… I thought I’d read the paper, but it turned out I got confused by an abstract with multiple sections. I thought it was very short. My mistake
So I can’t say whether the authors addressed whether the low carbohydrate group was selecting for people already known to be at risk.
