Yet another diet study: vegetarian low carb

Mostly interesting because usually one doesn't think of low carb and vegetarian going together. Thought it may not be as low carb as some other low carb diets, with 26% of calories from carbs, 31% from protein, and 43% from fat.

But "the study was supported by Solae, a soy food company" and the lead author "Dr. Jenkins has served on the scientific advisory board of Unilever, the Sanitarium Company, and the California Strawberry Commission, received research grants from Loblaws, Unilever, Barilla, and the Almond Board of California, served on the speakers' panel for the Almond Board of California, and received honoraria for scientific advice from the Almond Board of California, Barilla, Unilever Canada, and Solae. His co-authors reported potential conflicts of interest with the Almond Board of California, Unilever, and Loblaws. One of the study authors is a past employee of Solae and a current employee of Kellogg's. One of the other authors is an employee of Solae." Though it would seem that the study goes against the interest of Barilla and Kellogg's.
