Yet another study which has been interpreted (possibly by journalists) that there is one magic bullet.
100% agree that reduction in sugars and carbs is one key aspect for a healthier life. I am an overweight cyclist who definitely eats too much rubbish, so know I ought to fix that.
Also do not trust the food and drink industry to regulate itself in the public interest.
However, IMO, it is very dangerous to belittle activity and exercise. Personally speaking, with few, if any, changes in my diet, I have lost a lot of girth, and some weight, due to cycling. I know one person's experience is statistically insignificant, but there will be more like me.
The mental health benefits of exercise have been ignored there as well.
