      Certain dietary deficiencies can cause depressive symptoms without it being a diagnosed case of depression Otherwise diet is minimal at best. Presumably affecting only those with severe deficiencies in such diet.

      I’d sign up quickly for a safe intervention with this much potential. Problem no Doctor is aware of the potential benefits of Low Carb / Keto. Actually most probably think it’s a bit dangerous.pic.twitter.com/TYzYkoB0j4

      No, most doctors think that keto proponents go way overboard in promoting it as a cure-all when the evidence is far weaker than what they claim or even nonexistent.🙄

      Evidence for T2D is > 20 years old now. Seizures maybe a 100 years. Plenty of evidence happily ignored by standard of care Doctors. If you watch this let me know if you claim evidence for Keto in T2D is 'weak" tldr? It's not.https://youtu.be/D4odBoZYyaw

      tl;dr: That’s what keto quacks always claim. The only fairly convincing evidence is for epilepsy. The evidence for treating cancer (my specialty) is weak to nonexistent.

      The vast majority of these studies are for type II diabetes. No one disputes that low carb diet, weight loss, and exercise can partially reverse type II diabetes. I’ve yet to see the evidence supporting claims that keto is so much better than other diet/lifestyle interventions.

          As an aside why do some people retweet themselves?

          If you retweet yourself you quote yourself without wasting valuable letters. You also provide the SOURCE of the quote at the same time, so people can go and read what was said before and after. This is why sources are important, the reader get everything not just... parts.

          The thing with Rogers hero is that Westman recommend other diets not just Keto. Rogers seem to claim that keto is the perfect diet, nothing beats it, so why would Westman recommend something else? Could it be that Keto isn't as good as Rogers think it is? Oh no, is it mute time?

          It’s Rodgers. Keto is an excellent option which some Doctors and odd twitter accounts out there try to discredit for some reason.
