Controlled for total calories?
Why? Causing you to eat more calories may be the main way that carbs kill you.

Certainly could be true but that’s a separate hypothesis

"More carbs = higher death rate". You're asking him to exclude what may be the main causal mechanism that makes that claim true.

It of course would be an interesting and important thing to know, to distinguish that cause from others, but it's an invalid argument against using that study as evidence for his hypothesis.

There's plenty of evidence to believe that carbs and fat together, independent of calories, is worse for health than low carb + high fat. It comes down to insulin resistance. Carbs shut off fat burning, so all the fat you eat with them goes straight to storage.
