He writes:
"Does a ketogenic diet put people at higher risk of heart disease? Recent research suggests, in fact, the opposite is true.
Patients on a keto diet may significantly reduce their risk of heart disease, while losing weight and improving blood sugar, blood pressure, and other metabolic markers.
The latest study to show this is a new small pilot study published in Metabolites. The research team, including keto weight loss expert Dr. Tro Kalayjian, partnered with a local manufacturing plant. They signed up interested employees with obesity and higher risk of cardiovascular disease to follow a weight loss and metabolic health program with carbohydrate reduction for six months.

Of the 10 patients who followed the program for six months, patients averaged a 44% reduction in their relative cardiovascular risk. Not only that, but the average weight loss was 38 pounds (17 kilos) and significant money was saved on prescription drug costs."

...good news.
Anything that reduces cardio risk is a winner.
That sounds good and interesting the money saved on the prescriptions!
I was reading an article not so long ago about B12 misdiagnosis and how it gets mistaken for a lot of other things and the interesting thing was how much it was cost the NHS! Shocking really.
Como siempre interesante. Feliz noche.
Fascinating!
Glad to hear this as I've been on Keto for four years now. Thank you for posting this as some folks think just the opposite!
Always enjoy these interesting articles. Thank you Jan!
INteresting. I wonder how a keto diet affects kidney function. They always say it isn't good but they said that about cardio-vascular function too.
Good to know.
Es una buena noticia. Te mando un beso.
Thanks for that great info!
That's heartening news.
I think that much of what scientists believed in the past is being revised these days.
Always enjoy Dr. Bret Scher's preaching.

I hadn't realized it was thought keto contributed to heart problems. I'm glad they've disproven that.
Thanks for this information and the link. Great article!

Muy interesante información!
I have a friend who is on a Keto diet, so that is good to know.
I'm not doing keto but I am doing low carb. But that's good to know.
I listen to Dr Bret all the time - thanks for the share!
It is great that they are doing studies on this and monitoring it so well.
Society has demonized fat to a ridiculous degree. People think that junk food is healthier than protein foods. Thank you for trying to correct the misinformation.
