Didn’t know mice are meat eaters.

[Olog-hai]

Generally, they are not.

Oh yes, a wood chuck got trapped in a truck of ours, and the only holes were small enough for mice to get in. Around the wood chuck skeleton were piles of mouse turds. Wasn’t even any hair left, I suspect that made good nesting material.

Didn't know mice are meat eaters.

Yes. That is the problem with every mouse (and disease knock of model) when it comes to ketogenic diets.

There is plenty of research supporting a ketogenic diet for numerous disorders.

A few well done studies:

Ketone esters increase brown fat in mice and overcome insulin resistance in other tissues in the rat

Eating the wrong type of trans fatty acids, particularly industrial can skew test results (stick with natural trans fats).

Trans Fatty Acids Induce Vascular Inflammation and Reduce Vascular Nitric Oxide Production in Endothelial Cells

A quick summary of ketosis:

Metabolic Effects of the Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diets: Misunderstood "Villains" of Human Metabolism

There are numerous medical studies that have been done on a ketogenic diet. The more recent ones are revealing many neurological disorders are metabolic based (diet) resulting from insulin resistance.

I think we can safely file the posted study under agenda science.
