Ok. As a matter of fact I have 5 kids and I grew up babysitting kids. I apologize for offending you by using the word idiot because I was obviously 100% attempting to insult children.
I'm really not sorry, but hopefully my apology will make you feel better and you will go away. Toodles!

The latest science would disagree I think. It's more about epigenetic expression. Environment seems to play a greater part than genetics. Studies on twins have borne this out.
Sure, inheriting great genes is at definite advantage, but even those so called unlucky ones, can still manifest how the epigenome expresses their genes in such a way as to affect their lifespans substantially. Witness the studies done on identical twins with different lifestyles.
That's my overly worded way of kindly saying that you're not quite right.

Yeah. Really? Moving fast enough and a weird wing shape means you can fly?
Nonsense.

This is histotripsy - it’s like lithotripsy for cancer cells. There’s nothing mystical about this - it’s localized tissue destruction using incredibly high mechanical forces.
What’s new is that it induces an additional immune response.

Yet this report implies all carbs are bad carbs.

The further science progresses, the more ancient practices and traditions seem valid.
Discovery through the scientific method converging with thousand of years of trial and error.

Great logic there.

people used to eat way more total% of carbs in the past, yet very few had cvd

For sure. But, sometimes its that people can’t see the application and it takes years or decades to be accepted.

From the abstract, they don't seem to differentiate between starchy foods and (refined) sugars. Intuitively and from my limited knowledge, I would assume that sugar is the real culprit of health decline, unless starchy foods are consumed in lieu of a diverse diet (including various protein sources, vegetables and nuts).
Starchy foods are still at the basis of many diets over the world, including in countries with high life expectancy (e.g. Japan and their high white rice consumption).

I think the mistake people can make with findings like this is jumping from the reasonable “this new finding unlocks another small puzzle piece in a very large puzzle” to “this is the missing piece!”

The way I look at it is that the human body has had very little time to adapt to a rich carbohydrate intake. Let's not forget that the agricultural revolution happened only 12,000 years ago. Mass carbohydrate intake was adapted even later. Before that, people ate mainly meat, greens, and fruit. Evolution will adapt eventually, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
