So the official place to get it requires a login: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(25)01201-2

But the full report can be found on : https://www.donorplatform.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/PIIS0140673625012012.pdf

I'll summarize:

60% Carbs, 20% protein, 20% fat

Highly processed seed oils and highly processed grains are the major source of energy on this diet.

Obviously this is counter to the health goals of keto/carnivore, but it's remarkable here as this will be used to drive lots of anti-meat efforts globally, so its good to become familiar with it.

"We can't do science to prove what we're saying, so we've made something up instead."

Epidemiology in a nutshell.

If only epidemiological studies were done, then what "rigorous" control could there have been?

Fancier mathematical models where they assume independence for things that are not independent

The far higher ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in these plant foods compared with red meat and dairy products predicts lower LDL cholesterol; this prediction was confirmed in a meta-analysis of randomised trials of red meat intake.

And what good does lower LDL do?

Funnily here they are correct, it's just lower LDL has worse health outcomes, especially in insulin sensitive populations

"Adjustment" says it all.

If you don't have a prior bias you are trying to match you don't need to do careful adjustment.

This is so insidious.

Just..like..root..beer
