Keto Diet Shows Potential for Schizophrenia, But Cure Remains Unproven

Kennedy’s claim that ketogenic diets cure schizophrenia is not supported by current science. Evidence is preliminary, coming from small studies and case reports that suggest possible symptom improvement when ketosis is achieved under medical supervision, but large, randomized trials showing clear benefit over medication alone are lacking. The Stanford study reported most adherent patients improved but had no control group, and researchers caution that keto should supplement rather than replace antipsychotic treatment while more rigorous research is underway.

Dr. Oz Explores Keto Diet Benefits

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen discuss the benefits of a healthy keto diet for individuals with Type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the importance of avoiding red and processed meats and focusing on mono- and poly-unsaturated fats from sources like olive oil and fatty fish. They highlight that a low-carb diet can potentially help reduce medication dependency by encouraging insulin production. The article advises eliminating processed carbs and incorporating vegetables for fiber and nutrients.

Keto Diet's Impact on Gut Microbiome May Alleviate Autoimmune Disorders

Keto Diet's Impact on Gut Microbiome May Alleviate Autoimmune Disorders

A study published in Cell Reports found that a ketogenic diet can reduce the severity of multiple sclerosis (MS) in mice by altering gut bacteria and their metabolites. The research suggests that molecules produced by gut bacteria, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and indole-3-lactate (ILA), play a crucial role in these benefits. This discovery opens the possibility of using BHB and ILA supplements as a more manageable treatment for MS, potentially bypassing the need for a strict keto diet.

Keto Diet Shows Promise in Treating Autoimmune Disorders and MS

Researchers at UC San Francisco have found that the keto diet may help treat autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis by increasing the production of anti-inflammatory compounds. In a study with mice, the diet led to higher levels of the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB), which in turn prompted the gut bacterium Lactobacillus murinus to produce indole lactic acid (ILA). This metabolite blocked the activation of T helper 17 immune cells, reducing inflammation. While promising, these findings need further testing in humans.

"Balancing Keto: Benefits, Risks, and the Case for 'Keto Vacations'"

The ketogenic diet, originally developed to treat epilepsy in children, has become popular for weight loss by emphasizing high fat and low carb intake to induce ketosis. However, experts warn that it is often unsustainable, can lead to nutrient deficiencies, and poses health risks such as heart disease and liver problems. They recommend focusing on long-term, sustainable habits like increased physical activity and a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber instead.

"Study: Keto Diet May Harm Health, Suggests Regular Breaks"

US scientist Professor David Gius suggests taking regular "keto vacations" to mitigate the potential negative effects of a ketogenic diet, such as the accumulation of ageing cells in organs. His study on mice showed that while the keto diet has initial health benefits, prolonged adherence may accelerate organ ageing. Periodically switching back to a standard diet can reduce these ageing cells, indicating that a cycling ketogenic diet might be more beneficial.

"Kardashian-Approved Diet Linked to Delaying Alzheimer's Symptoms, Study Shows"

A study suggests that following the keto diet, popularized by Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, may help delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease by increasing levels of a molecule called beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), which plays a role in preventing early memory decline. The diet involves swapping out carb-heavy foods for higher fat ones and has shown benefits in improving memory-related brain changes in mice. While the keto diet is controversial, the study's findings could be significant for Alzheimer's prevention in humans, especially for females at higher risk for the disease.
