| You are right to question this study and the conclusion of the article.
Still, the study shows some important points: - Professor John Speakman, who led the study, said: “The result of this enormous study was unequivocal – the only thing that made the mice get fat was eating more fat in their diets. - “Carbohydrates including up to 30% of calories coming from sugar had no effect. Combining sugar with fat had no more impact than fat alone. There was no evidence that low protein (down to 5%) stimulated greater intake, suggesting there is no protein target. These effects of dietary fat seemed to be because uniquely fat in the diet stimulated the reward centres in the brain, stimulating greater intake. Anyway, one has to wonder why the body has a natural tendency to eat carbs (only in plants like healthy fiber) if they are not part of the natural diet: Sweet fruits. Sweet vegetables. Sugar. Starch products. Processed meat with vegetable spices and not just bloody pure meat like carnivores with the appropriate digestive system.
