And 37% is not low-carb. If anything what this shows is that if you have moderate carbs, you won't be doing so well. But if you have moderate carbs + more plant-based food, you'll be healthier.
So all this study showed has nothing to do with carbs, but everything to do with eating more veggies = you'll be healthier.
I bet that if had they replaced not just part of the meat/animal fat with veggies, but also another 20% of those "low carbs", they would've gotten even healthier people (and on an actual low-carb diet, too!).
