This is borne out pretty well by their reported adverse events. They are very low. Does that mean that the diet works or just that people who do badly on the diet don't respond to online surveys? Who knows!pic.twitter.com/zScYBY19G1

This could have all been fixed with a control group. It was an online survey, so presumably not hard to include a control Weird that they didn't, isn't it?
A control group - say, T1 diabetes by on a different diet - would give us some information about whether it's the diet itself making these changes or just people's bad reporting
This statement of limitations is ~woefully inadequate~ for a biased online survey of 300 people...pic.twitter.com/KLq7aLKy5A
And this conclusion is...stunning. To paraphrase: "If a big number of future studies are done that agree with ours, we can conclude that this study was right"pic.twitter.com/VrBeEuOegv
That's like me saying that you should use a pill because eventually we'll find that it works As I said, stunning

If THE AUTHORS OF THE STUDY didn't draw a single firm conclusion from their research - which they didn't - why would anyone else?
And this quote from the @nytimes sums it up for me
Maybe the control seems to good to be true...because it is?pic.twitter.com/50sGkrgXNH
Essentially, this was an online survey that proved nothing whatsoever, and had results that were almost certainly too good to be true
And yet, every single news source quoted the authors who said that this diet demonstrated "exceptional" glucose control
The only thing "exceptional" about this research is that people have read more into it than "interesting but needs more research"
