As I recall, there have been other studies which show improved lipids and BG on low-carb when compared to low-fat.

Let's see... we have a diet which is at least as effective at weight loss as the health establishment's party line, that also controls hunger cravings, improves lipids and BG... but for some reason it is vilified as dangerous or unhealthy
