Who paid for the study?
A million different opinions and a doomsday's predict for each one.
Umm, being hugely fat will have a negative effect on your heart health. Eating >20g carbs a day and no starches or sugar will dump the weight off of you and get you down so your joints and heart are better off.
You could have easily lost 30 pounds...

No matter what you do, you’re gonna die.
Remember that everyone who ate only health food during the nineteenth century is dead now.
My heart is normal. I’m the only person in my family who is on a permanent low-carb diet and only one of 7 siblings without heart disease.
It is kind of funny. People are looking for esoteric “markers of risk” that they can hope to manage. Current wisdom holds that decreasing your LDL cholesterol is the biggest risk and the HDL, Triglycerides are lessor risks that can also be managed. Once you get down to markers of inflammation and theoretical, esoteric risks trying to manage that while failing to manage “the big ones” is just stupid.
a key blood biomarker strongly associated with heart disease...

Possibly bad, but by itself it’s almost completely meaningless. I’m not sure about a loose paleo diet, but a low carb diet significantly alters metabolism, how lipids and glycierides are used, and alters a significant portion of the krebs (citric acid) cycle, among other things. In other words, having a higher bio-marker that means one thing in the S.A.D. (standard American diet) could mean something completely different to someone with decrease insulin levels on a fat-generating glycogenic metabolism, and less ability to metabolize fats.
Geez what a dumb study.
You can eat clean low carb, paleo, whatever, and get plenty of probiotics for your gut bugs. Seeds, stalky veggies, and of course you can supplement any number of powdered resistant starches for the gut bugs.
It’s eating high carb sugary diets that cause the wrong gut bug species to go wild.
"Though no one would argue the nutritional merits of vegetables and lean protein..."
Note the emphasis on lean meat. That's part of the problem. It's the fat you need, not lean meat. They can't let go of their biases long enough to really test this.
I’m starting the DASH diet because my blood pressure had been creeping up in the past few years; it runs on my Dad’s side of the family.
Also - so many in my family are diabetic...and I’m NOT going there!
Also - taking care of my 82 year old Dad who retired at 55 and didn’t MOVE a muscle since then, high-fat diet, lots of Brandy and Beer, ex-smoker, but the damage has been done. All of his current ailments are lifestyle/diet/sedentary related...I’m not going THERE, either!
My diet is pretty good as is, but I can always improve.
Agriculture is 10,000 years old. Even then it was not widespread.
A mere 500 generations.
Tell me again why and agricultural based diet is better than the hunter/forager diet? Other than the benefit of being more predictable and allowing for the specialization of human tasks.
Paleo is healthier, if one has the discipline to do it right.
“We found the lack of whole grains were associated with TMAO levels, which may provide a link between the reduced risks of cardiovascular disease we see in populations with high intakes of whole grains,” she said in the release.
CORRELLATION IS NOT CAUSATION....
There is ZERO evidence that these varying TMAO levels increase your risk for heart disease.
LOL, what do they think will have more bugs, something pulled out a plant, or fully cooked red meat?
For later
Eat some fermented foods, you’ll be fine.

My super duper easy keto breakfast for 2. Melt 2 tablespoons bacon grease in skillet. Then fry 1/2 pound jimmy dean sausage in same skillet(crumbled fine as possible). When done, add 2 big handfuls of bagged slaw mix. Sauté mixture for a few minutes. In separate skillet fry 2 eggs. To plate, put sausage/slaw mixture on plate. Top with egg. Very filling. Very good.
