I was using American numbers. Keto is pretty popular here - the Atkins diet exploded in popularity in the early 2000s. I don't think it's "clear" that sugar causes cardiovascular disease. I think what is clear is that obesity plus inactivity are overwhelmingly the main causes at a population level. Obesity can result from eating lots of sugar and/or from eating lots of fat. But just about every population level study shows that consuming red meat increases cardiovascular disease. We'll have to check in a decade or two from now to see what effects keto-style diets have on cardiovascular disease but as tasty as they are, I'm not going to take my chances with one. Everything in moderation.
