    Did you actually read the paper, or just its abstract?

    Edit: it’s a genuine question, folks. This is a science community.

        Where did I mention that I was referring to the article?

        The parent poster wrote “the paper,” so I was referring to the paper. Not the article.

          Im betting when he said paper he meant the link in the post. At least I thought so. I get what you are saying but in an internet forum I usually assume words are used in the most generic sense.

            Well, that just falls in the realms of opinions. I could agree with you in a different context. But in this community about scientific discussion, I’ll assume the parent poster meant paper when they wrote paper.

            Regardless, that’s why I asked the question as a clarification.

      Hmm… I thought I’d read the paper, but it turned out I got confused by an abstract with multiple sections. I thought it was very short. My mistake

      So I can’t say whether the authors addressed whether the low carbohydrate group was selecting for people already known to be at risk.
