The activity point both of you bring up is interesting as diet obviously doesn't happen in isolation from the rest of our lifestyle.
What surprised me most about the study, though, was that simply adding full-fat dairy didn't produce the weight, body-fat or cholesterol changes you might expect from the conventional saturated-fat narrative.
I'm interested in the idea that we've oversimplified nutrition by studying individual nutrients instead of whole foods. "Fat is bad" or "carbs are bad" makes for an easy rule, but human metabolism seems considerably messier than that.

i regularly eat sticks of raw butter and drink raw milk with or without sourdough bread, while knowing that it's all animal discharge - i wud much rather eat fruits & berries and drink tea & cacao made with mountain spring water; however, i feel like my heavily contaminated flesh is still dependent on something from animals; i no longer eat land-grazing animals, i am OK with eggs, and contemplating how to start abstaining from sea animals;
lipids are extremely important for proper brain function; the white liquid low-fat substances sold in centralized stores are basically a big pharma product - idk what to call it, but it ain't nourishment;
i wud also like to fast longer & more frequently; since food is way too abundant on land, i may have to go backpacking or sailing in order to make fasting practical rather than disciplined;
as far as health goes, i routinely move heavy baggage, large rocks & sticks (up to 80 lbs), and have not had back pain in years; i do move a little too fast for my liking, which increases the risk of injury;
Bruce Lee used to say: first technique, then power, then speed; i shud also look into his nutritional plan!
