We are not sure that the reason why the ketogenic diet works so well in our patients is only due to the ketone body production. In fact, we have observed that in a majority of cases, our patients also show abnormal results in oral glucose tolerance tests both in the way their blood sugar and their insulin levels responds to sugar intake. Since carbs are a form of sugar, a low-carb diet could mitigate these responses. Our hypothesis is that the combination of ketone bodies and changed glucose response could lead to the outstanding therapeutic effect we have observed in our patients.

If the diet is done incorrectly, it might be unhealthy. That’s why some counties regard ketogenic diets as unsafe, but this is not my experience.

Jaa-a. Mikähän olisi väärin tehty ketodieetti. Äkkiä ei tule mieleen kuin runsailla kasviöljyillä tehty rasvan lisäys.



Tekstistä ei selvinnyt mitä tarkoitaa tuo "epänormaali". Jos tulos on huonompi, eikös se ole normaali fysiologinen insuliiniresistenssi, jolla säästetään glukoosia aivoille ja punasoluille?
