93% of American adults have risk factors or take medication for obesity, diabetes, or heart disease With so many benefits, it’s no wonder that the keto diet is no longer just a fad diet–it’s here to stay. Low-carbohydrate diets have been studied for nearly three decades, with papers on clinical trials now numbering in the thousands. These trials have demonstrated significant benefits for the prevention and treatment of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and mental health disorders, among many other chronic diseases. The American Heart Association has stated that a very low-carbohydrate diet “versus moderate carbohydrate diets yield a greater decrease in A1c, more weight loss and use of fewer diabetes medications in individuals with diabetes” While there are many reported myths, these have been dispelled in a recent paper published in ‘Nature’ (doi: 10.3390/nu17061047) such as the harms of cholesterol, red meat, need for carbohydrates & more.
