I think that's missing the main point of the series. It's saying that carbs aren't the problem as has been previously claimed.

That said if you look for evidence either way you can find it. https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aj... it's not saying that carbs are the problem but the WRONG carbs are the problem.

There's some inconsistencies, like the part about the person living of potatoes, since these are a strong source of lithium, but thanks for the link it was an interesting read and certainly makes great point against diet chasing.

I didn’t find any of the “these maps looked similar” (lots of maps look similar) or “wow these two time trends are correlated” (all time series with trends are correlated) tbh
