Have they really done studies without the incorrect mindset that
"all calories are the same"? The advised "Food Pyramid" human
diet is Carb/Protein/Fat calories 55/15/30% (!!!). What if they did
a study where this were 20/45/35
(that is Carb calories dramatically decreased)
but protein calories were dramatically increased?
(especially if they had those monkeys lifting weights :-)

Maybe what is really being measured here is the effect of Carb-CR
and the others are not factors.
