You replaced the word "suggests" with "may". You're seeing a distinction between these two words that I apparently do not, since I take them both to indicate "this is a possibility, though not the only one, and a far from proven certainty." I would add that, even there, my statement was predicated on making an inference about dietary habits - something I cast doubt on with the opening, "if taken at face value." Something I further opined on in my other post, where I pointed out that the paper may be reversing causality. I feel like you're criticizing a strong inference having been made, that I think pretty clearly wasn't.
