A valid experiment would need to have several groups eating the same number of calories, but different amounts of fat and carb to determine if it is the calories, the fat, or the carb causing the trouble... Even a 9th grader can figure this one out.

My thoughts exactly.
There are so many uncontrolled variables in that study (total calories were high, fat and carbs were high, processed carbs and processed fat was high, or it might have been chemical additives in mcdonalds food too) to blame the results on high fat in general is ridiculous. |
