RE: Keto: Not Just Another Fad
Actually science has disproved fat as being dangerous. The majority of science saying fat is bad for you is often looking at a high fat/high carb diet rather than a high fat/low carb diet. A high fat diet/high carb diet can be horrible for your health. However, keto is not only safe but extremely beneficial for many different conditions!
It is crucial to read the studies to understand what is going on. A high fat diet is not a ketogenic diet. I looked at the 3 of the studies you picked and none of them listed the diet, they just said they were fed high fat. High fat in the presence of high carb will promote much of what you are talking about such as inflammation. Research often mistakes fat as being the culprit of negative outcomes in these high fat/high carb studies.
Additionally, duration of study is key. True adaptation to a ketogenic diet takes time so studies looking at markers following 5 days of a high fat diet will not be a good indication. Check out all ketogenic studies that are 4 weeks or longer and are actually ketogenic and not just low carb and you will see much different results! If you would like me to point you in the direction of more relevant research please let me know!
Have you watched the video I posted?
What a joke.. i've been doing low carb high fat for 4 years now.. based on what you said, i'm lucky to be alive.
But the reality is that i'm free of type 2 diabetes, 100lbs lighter, and much happier, and actually physically active.. much better off from when i was a high carb vegan!
