Yes, it's obviously a BS "study". Another example of Taube's "bad science".

Fund the study, or do the study?

Vascular inflammation is a serious thing.

However, they used markers for inflammation and not direct examinations
for inflammation. This is a common way to do bad science in medical
studies. The problem is that the experimental conditions may have altered
the markers without changing the actual condition of concern.

"Atkins" done with foods that have additives may produce an outcome based
on the additives.

18 subjects and 30 days is too short to be taken seriously. However, it
does create the impetus to do a proper study.

If I win the lottery ten times, I'll do the study myself.
