My problem is that you gave the impression that it must be wrong because you couldn't find signficance when calculating yourself. That's taking things too far to try to prove your point.

I'd have to disagree. Bryan questioned the results and his attempts to determine statistical significance with his own calculations were entirely appropriate.
Perhaps one of the authors of the study could pay us a visit and explain how they arrived at their conclusions and explain what mistake Bryan may have made, although I've known Bryan's statistical analyses on this site to be very thorough.

But I think you're starting to let your own beliefs get in the way of looking at this as part of growing body of research. There will be more studies, and we'll see what the results show.

Adam, this statement could just as easily be turned around and directed your way. My impression is that Bryan is attempting an impartial analysis. I get the feeling that your own beliefs strongly favor low-carb diets.
I agree that the issue of the effectiveness of the low carb approach needs more study as the results to this point would seem to be inconclusive.
