Well, I can tell you that once my husband went on Keto, he lost 50+ lbs, and his A1C and blood pressure went down within a month. Within about 8 months his cholesterol are within healthy ranges. At first his GP was skeptical but after a year, he told him to keep doing what he’s doing.
Which is why you can’t compare outcomes in places like Sweden and SK with what they will be in the CONUS.
Sweden has essentially adopted keto as a healthy diet. SK doesn’t have the number of obese we do either.
So the hospitalization rate, death rate and negative outcome rates of those two countries have literally nothing to do with what will happen in CONUS.
There are a LOT of flubros who harp ‘pre-existing conditions’ to unexpected young dead from this...and don’t realize that simply having elevated fasting insulin is probably the real culprit. Everything goes downhill from there. And there are a LOT of flubros who have elevated fasting insulin levels. And A1C over 5.5ish. If you’re over 40 with more than 15lbs extra and/or elevated A1C (over 5.5ish), you’re asking for trouble if you catch this.
