You’re going to cite other ‘studies’ to reinforce your own bias? And without references, of course, right? Why are you ignoring the other studies which show that keto is demonstrably-harmful?

There is scientific merit in this study to be balanced with others which throw water on the so-called ‘keto fire’. Keto is Atkins redux, plain & simple. The long term effects thereof will, ultimately, destroy the myth forever, but not before millions are potentially irreparably-harmed.

Keto has been around for a century and staff doctors in a hospital setting had trouble keeping their epileptic child patients in ketosis; what makes you think you can do better? The psychological feedback of a scale swing, ignoring other factors? The fact is that most people who engage keto are incredibly-hypocritical, failing to address other causes of inflammation.

If a person engages keto for the purpose of weight loss, they lost the battle for health before they began. Period.

Fool’s errand, likely to express symptoms of impaired health and/or disease.

IMHO, after THOUSANDS of hours of writing & research, btw.

Absolute BS and dishonesty. The original KETO diet for epilepsy was based on drinking mostly processed oils. THAT IS NOT THE SCIENCE TODAY.

The science today is low carb with medium chain triglycerides, particularly caprylic and capric. The dietary fats are required to boost peroxisomes VLCFA conversion to decanoic acid for support of glial cell and neuronal (particularly mitochondria) metabolism.

Where the hell are you getting your information?

That quote comes to mind whenever I see any articles about "scientific research" on food. The fact is that there are literally uncountable claims made about our diets, most of which are unsubstantiated by any real research, but which most people will believe simply based on the assertion ("Global Warming is Real" / "The Science is Settled").

Diets are a sort of pseudo religion in the modern world.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could cite one study that shows that KETO is harmful if properly done, by people that are reasonably healthy to start with. I have truly been looking for such a study.

Just FYI I have gone KETO since Feb. 1. I have lost 11 pounds, I swim 6 miles a week, do 2 hours of aerobics a week and walk about 6 miles a week (and have been doing this for the last 5 years). I take my fasting blood sugar every other day (just for fun). Everything looks great, I feel great.

I guess I shouldn’t trust my own lying eyes. keto has worked great for me and my family.

Tell us what vital nutrient is lost in not eating carbs. Your research is lacking...
