Obviously the conclusion flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

My reading of this paper reveals several possible confounding variables although I cannot tell how significant these are.

The lower tier of fried food eaters seemed to be older, more sedentary with a lower level of occupational manual labor, have more diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and ate more dairy product and non fried fish

Also it is not clear to me whether the low fried tier actually ate a low fat diet
