Health studies, especially when reported by some article in som publication without an original source are a mess. I personally am extremely skeptical of what the Atlantis says the findings of the paper are. I lost 50 lbs while eating a box of pop tarts per day while counting macros. It's anecdotal but that's the basis for my beliefs, and a lot of science supports it. One issue with health studies is how data is collected. Numerous studies have shown that a huge number of people are incapable of accurately tracking the number of calories they consume per day, and consistently under report their numbers. I believe it, it's hard in today's eat out culture. So...how sure are we that people were consuming the same number of calories? This is just one issue. There are tons more. If you happen to be in this thread and you are looking for health advice, my recommendation is to head to /r/fitness and read the FAQ.
