Though I agree with the low carb message based on experience, these broad survey-based studies are not conclusive. They are at best observational and hypothesis-generating, more statistics than science. Unfortunately. A scientific study would need to completely control diet.
It's easy to game or do bad analysis that erroneously produces negative results (by misinterpreting the influence of controls in meta-studies, as I describe elsewhere in this thread). It's much harder to erroneously get statistically strong repeated positive results like these.

Also, while a single statistical study is not in isolation conclusive, it can often be and here is conclusive in the context of many other consistent and reinforcing studies across several fields of knowledge.

This is the correct conclusion. This study isn’t showing that Nicholas cage movies cause heart attacks. It’s just another piece of evidence that helps tear down the carb promoting edifice and supports the numerous other studies. If this was the only evidence I’d be more skeptical
