Carbs are bad for you in high quantities the same as fats.
Sugar isn't actually much worse than any other carb either.
But carb elimination has been linked to early death as well.
It's all about the amount you eat.
Please show me the study for early death if you eat less carbs please.
I smell BS.
Yeah, going low/no carb can be inefficient for the body; but no long term consequences I'm aware of.

So yeah... quite useless, and even if it wasn't useless, the key takeaway was that the choice to eat animal vs plants to replace the loss of carb intake was the bad/good effect, not lowering carb intake.
One point for effort though ;-)
Ketoacidosis can cause death... but this is usually the result of starvation or uncontrolled diabetes combined with sudden carb restrictions.
