Thread Name: BS: Keto diet - anybody try it? Like it?
Subject: RE: BS: Keto diet - anybody try it? Like it?
Have you actually read your own links? As I suggested, if my take is not to your liking, let's have yours. You put up so many links without comment, after all. I've put up several substantial posts in which I've made no baseless assumptions and I haven't "denied" any of the science (some of which actually casts many a doubt on what you're advocating: I'm puzzled that you didn't find any of that...wonder why not...). In fact, I've tried to tease out the real science from the fake news. There's plenty of good science there and much of it reflects exactly what I'm saying. Go on, have a read.

The fact is (and fact it is, whether you like it or not), there isn't anywhere near enough settled science to justify any kind of unqualified advocacy of Atkins, keto or any other fad diet, or of prebiotics, probiotics or "superfoods" (a one-time friend of mine couldn't face the world unless he'd placed precisely twenty goji berries on his breakfast cereal). Of course, there's much money to be made from promotion of these things. That alone should get your antennae a-waggling. You don't have to be much of a qualified scientist to be non-gullible. You're aiming at the wrong target if I may say so. And none of this is to say that there's nothing in these things, a point I've repeatedly made, though you probably wish I hadn't. :-)
