Possibly, i find that a lot of diet related research gets easily overblown and any positive effects are usually not that significant or it is positive but not in the way it gets interpreted/reported.
That said, anecdotally, when i was eating strictly vegetarian i did notice a difference in how my body digested food. When i ate more processed foods, especially ones with animal protein i felt different… in my case i was usually more sluggish, tired, and would not feel great for a day or two. Obviously that’s just my experience and is not a proper study but i do think there’s something to changing one’s diet to feel better. Even if this particular study is flawed i think it’s a good goal to eat healthier, problems start to arise when fad diets pop up that heavily restrict what people can eat based on shaky science and can cause health problems and/or cost people a lot of money over something that’s not helping them in the long run.
