Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the long-term effects of low carbohydrate, high protein diets on mortality among Swedish women, using data from a large cohort followed for 12 years.
  • Findings showed that decreasing carbohydrate intake or increasing protein intake by one decile was linked to a slight increase in overall and cardiovascular mortality, with combined low carbohydrate-high protein diets being particularly associated with higher cardiovascular death risk.
  • The results suggest caution with such diets for weight control, as they may be linked to increased long-term health risks, especially cardiovascular-related outcomes.]

Cute; one of the go-to studies for low carbists is the EPIC-Oxford trial that showed no mortality *benefit* for vegetarians. But this data exists. https://t.co/Fio023nuTZ https://t.co/8xqoW3ytWD https://t.co/ICr8vlu6eK https://t.co/H5Z0pVK2s7 Cue: "Correlation tho!"

Exchanging carbs for protein resulted in increased death rates in this cohort of Swedish women between 30 and 49 years old. https://t.co/H5Z0pVK2s7

A diet high in animal protein is unhealthier than a diet high in carbs. 1.https://t.co/U1q0qALizK 2.https://t.co/vtse3TB2pa Plant protein is vastly superior. Animal protein is unhealthy. 1.https://t.co/4HL4E6KqVx 2.https://t.co/WXFww2eIBC

@simondankel @Dr__Guess Actually I am not sure we do. Low carb diets increase total mortality. Is there another therapy that you know increases total mortality that you think we should study more? Asbestos, maybe? https://t.co/H5Z0pVK2s7

@RedPearAlert You're allergic to evidence. You're basing your claims on plant-based junk food. Avoiding carbs has been consistently associated with worse health outcomes: https://t.co/fj9cGMZeuu https://t.co/S8TXkqEzlp https://t.co/3jZa7yMBQw https://t.co/hukCmYgJsI https://t.co/g3vRBgtb8v

@TracyLeeDbn @ProfTimNoakes @TamarHaspel @bigfatsurprise I emphasized 'evidence-based'. increased mortality with LC diets is documented over and over in the medical literature. couple examples: https://t.co/BXlj1TQQra https://t.co/LvG3vp8qRL. there are many more.
