You have to read the article carefully to get this part: low carb works best for men (as a group), Mediterranean works best for women (as a group). This article doesn't address it, but other groups have shown that diets below ~25% fat are actually worse for you than higher fat diets.

Read The Eater's Manifesto. It's an excellent read and talks about how "lipophobic" we are as a culture, and speculates as to why certain ethnic groups are so much healthier than we are.

I could believe a diet too low in fats is not a good thing. I'm a huge proponent of all foods in moderation and eating what makes you feel your best...and chocolate...sometimes . A growing speculation of scientists is that sometime in the near future, we will realize one diet doesn't fit all. I think lots of people have jumped ahead of that and started listening to their bodies.

Very cool article, thanks for the share.
