I haven't had a chance to read the study yet, but I wonder if they were trying to narrow the focus in on impacts on "regular people" rather than all humans.

I know people that rise bikes as serious amateur athletes and they regularly consume 90g of carbs for 5-6 hours multiple times a week while training, and I'm sure some serious athletes push carb intake even higher. They have very specific reasons for doing this and maybe that might skew data so athletes have been excused?
