Not necessarily; another "unnatural" recommendation by our betters, to shift from fats and meats to carbohydrates, could easily be worse, and maybe synergistic.
"Unnatural" in that we were advised to shift from natural saturated fats, and from something resembling the more balanced pre-agriculture diet. And I'm suspicious of mass quantities of unsaturated cis-fats, which I gather weren't quite so common prior to cultivation of oil seeds.
Ah, yes, I too narrowly focused on this particular issue of trans vs. cis and saturated fats and incorrectly inferred what you meant by the "this issue". Taking a step back, yep, the postulated (and being tested by Taubes and company) carbohydrate hypothesis is a part of what your comment is addressing.
