Yeah, the study I linked to just happened to be the first one that came up. I'm extremely skeptical of nutrition research for a couple of reasons:
  1. Nutrition researchers tend to be very poor empiricists
  2. Nutrition studies would be very difficult for skilled empiricists for fundamental reasons
Even the link between sugar and diabetes is becoming more suspect.
My view is just that people are eating hyper-novel diets, whether that's high carb or high protein, and it's resulting in novel health problems. We're also just living longer than our ancestors, so lots of stuff is going wrong that natural selection never had a chance to iron out.
