Pretty sure the title is alarmist and inacurrate.
The paper itself notes an increase consumption of fat and decreased consumption of carbohydrates. That is not the same as a low carb diet. For example (from the paper):
> Fats used for spreading on bread and cooking, dairy products, oil for salad dressing or cooking, various types of meats and sausages as main dish or on sandwiches, pizza, deep- fried potato chips (French fries), and non-sweet snacks (including potato and maize crisps (chips), cheese-flavoured puffed products, popcorn, and peanuts) were identified to be associated with high fat intake (fatE%) in the study population by PLS.
Few of these foods are recommended in low carb diets. Nor do the percentages of calories from carbs given in the study come anywhere near those recommended by low carb diets.
