The headline may grab your attention but it is misleading.
The study actually says:
“Low-carb diets that replace carbohydrates with protein or fat are gaining widespread popularity as a health and weight loss strategy,” said study leader Dr Sara Seidelmann, from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston.
“However, our data suggests that animal-basedlow carbohydrate diets might be associated with shorter overall lifespan and should be discouraged. NOTE: It is animal-based, with no vegetables.
“If one chooses to follow a low carbohydrate diet, then exchanging carbohydrates for more plant-based fats and proteins might actually promote healthy ageing in the long term.”
In my opinion, that means consuming plant-based fats such as olive oil, palm and coconut oil, nuts, and avocados and seeds.
