Responding to RESPONDING KETO TO KETO CLIAMS CLAIMS How to Combat the Top 15 Anti-Keto Arguments RESPONDING TO KETO CLAIMS As the ketogenic diet continues to gain popularity, it has also started to gain a lot of negative media attention. From cardiologists saying that keto will kill you, to that family member who insists eating fat will make you fat, there are plenty of misconceptions out there about the safety and efficacy of the ketogenic diet. Whether it’s in news articles or Jillian Michaels’ interviews, chances are you’ve seen headlines that have described the ketogenic diet as dangerous, risky, or unsafe. Most of these claims come without any substantiation whatsoever, and the ones that do are severely flawed. This E-Book is going to be the best tool in your arsenal for responding to these comments with research-backed evidence. Below, you will find the top 15 arguments made against the ketogenic diet, followed by thoughtful, science-based answers and rebuttals. RESPONDING TO KETO CLAIMS Claim #1: The ketogenic diet relies heavily on saturated fats that will clog your arteries and lead to heart disease. “A ketogenic diet has numerous risks. Top of the list: it's high in saturated fat. McManus recommends that you keep saturated fats to no more than 7% of your daily calories because of the link to heart disease. And indeed, the keto diet is associated with an increase in "bad" LDL cholesterol, which is also linked to heart disease.” — Harvard Health Response The ketogenic diet does not heavily rely on saturated fat. A well-formulated ketogenic diet places emphasis on clean ingredients and whole foods. Furthermore, the research correlating saturated-fat consumption to heart disease is outdated and has been disproven many times. Research has shown time-and- time again that sugar is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. In fact, the studies that “proved” saturated fat cause heart disease were written by Harvard nutritionists who were funded by the Sugar Research Foundation to downplay sugar’s role in cardiovascular disease. “A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD.” – Tarino, 2010 Research For more information on how the sugar industry influenced heart disease research, check out this paper: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2548255 A meta-analysis of over 300,000 individuals showed that saturated fat is not correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20071648 This systematic review found no association between saturated fat intake and all-cause mortality, CVD, CHD, stroke, and type II diabetes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26268692
