Common misconception. People will eat sugary fat free products and think it is a healthy product, but think that bacon will kill them, while in all likelihood it is the other way around.
The findings show observational associations rather than cause-and-effect and what people ate was based on self-reported data, which might not be accurate.
And the authors acknowledge that since diets were measured only at the start of the trial and six years later, dietary patterns could have changed over the subsequent 19 years.
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.
It’s extremely high in saturated fat and salt, and so should be eaten sparingly. That’s not to say it can’t be a part of a balanced diet, but even a small portion provides a huge chunk of your daily requirements for each of those two, as well as for calories.
Edit: Removed reference to dietary cholesterol, as this has little to no impact on health
Hey what’s bad with bacon?!

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.

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.

I’m with you, don’t abuse anything too much, but then again it doesn’t mean that bacon is bad!
We need salt, fat and cholesterol actually, just in sane amounts.
Cholesterols are a whole debate too.
