Their assumption that high-fat, low-fiber diets are unhealthy in humans is contradicted by numerous studies - and supported by numerous others.
That some people do well and others do not on a low-fat diet and some do well and others do not on a low-carb diet is well-established, but the whys and wherefores are not.
Could it be that the strain of bacteria they claim promotes health and leanness that only thrive on a low-fat diet only does so on a low-fat diet, and that there is a different strain of bacteria that promotes health and leanness that only thrives on a low-carb diet?
And maybe the reason we see the differences in how people respond to different diets is partly a matter of which strains of bacteria are established in their gut?

Good questions, maybe we'll have answers in human trials in a couple of years.

It all depends on who is paying for the study as to what the answer will be.
