It’s validating to see another study.

Just in case you don’t know about the New Zealand trial, here is a video about it.

This "study" tells you nothing. Note, that is NOT to say the diet definitely doesn't work. But 12 weeks is a very short time and a placebo effect is a near certainty if you ask people to change something and monitor it.
