I think outcome is the measure we should look at. With regards to disease and longevity there is nothing saying about 50-65% of energy from carbs has to be bad. What matters is what kind of carbs. Bulgur. Quinoa. Whole Rye. Oats. Beans.

Based. I know you might just be taking the agnostic position for the sake of the conversation, but the evidence overwhelmingly suggests 6 servings of carbs would massively improve your ACM risk: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000291652...
Oh I know. The Mediterranean diet is universelly associated with good health outcomes. It doesn't seem to matter how many youtubers there are explaining mechanisms why carbs or vegetables are bad for you... It also happens to align with a diet that is much better for the planet than the SAD.
I started following a Mediterranean style diet for my own heath a long time ago, and when I realized the harm of animal agriculture I stopped eating animal products completely. I of course would have preferred to continue eating like before, but evidence told me otherwise.
1. Nothing to do with saturated fat.
2. Nothing to do with the dietary guidelines.
