Why wouldn’t these substantial risks also apply to psychiatric patients - are there any studies corraborating your assertion?

Why wouldn’t these substantial risks also apply to psychiatric patients - are there any studies corraborating your assertion?
- OutOfHere 2y agoFirstly, what different studies mean by a ketogenic diet is quite different. For example, it is very possible that a healthy ketogenic diet doesn't carry these risks, whereas an unhealthy high-meat ketogenic diet carries them. Secondly, even if the risks continue to be present in psychiatric patients, the psychiatirc benefits could still outweigh the risks, and the risks could perhaps be offset in other ways, e.g. using a statin.
- arijo 2y agoIf it’s possible that some healthy ketogenic diets don't carry the risks mentioned in those 2 papers then by definition there’s an over generalization implicit in the research results. If there are issues between different ketogenic diets let’s try to figure out what those are without dropping the baby with the bath water.
