Nice thread! I think there are further ways industry funding can bias trials, bc ww/o positive results that funder is unlikely to re-fund you.

Thanks! That's true. I think that is actually what makes this study problematic, because the issues with it - no correction for multiple comparisons and switching pre registered outcomes - are things that often accompany attempts to find positive results where there aren't any

However, Volek already has bias for low carb. He thinks it works for metabolic diseases and performance. Q of this study was whether LCHF works via weight loss or some other effect. This study supports the latter. Dairy not really implicated one way or the other, that II can see

It's a mechanistic question, non dependent on diary. (Again, that I can see).
