Andreforfatter i denne artikkelen er George Bray. Bray har ved flere anledninger uttalt at forskning på overvekt er meningsløst, fordi det jo bare er et spørsmål om å spise mindre og trene mer. Han tilskriver vanligvis overvekt til latskap.

Studien er dårlig metodisk, og sier egentlig ingenting. Den sier i hvert fall ingenting om GI, Atkins eller steinalderdietten. Det er skuffende at BMJ publiserer slike artikler, men jeg vet at det desverre er navnet på forfatterne som avgjør om artikler blir publisert i "anerkjente" tidsskrifter, heller enn innholdet.
