Long-Term Safety of Ketogenic Diets

Long-Term Safety of Ketogenic Diets - with Dr. Bret Scher

Рет қаралды 12,747

Күн бұрын

In this video, Dr. Bret Scher addresses common misconceptions and concerns surrounding the long-term safety and nutritional adequacy of ketogenic diets. Dr. Scher emphasizes the importance of weighing potential risks against known benefits. For instance, psychotropic medications, despite often worsening overall physical and metabolic health, are considered beneficial because they can alleviate symptoms of serious mental illnesses. In contrast, many patients experience incredible benefits from ketogenic therapy without harmful side effects. In numerous cases, a medical keto diet can even put psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression into complete remission.
What You'll Learn:
▪️Long-Term Safety: Is it safe to maintain ketosis over an extended period?
▪️Nutritional Adequacy: Can a ketogenic diet lead to nutrient deficiencies or disordered eating habits?
▪️Fiber and Phytonutrients: Are fiber intake and phytonutrients compromised on a ketogenic diet?
▪️Heart Disease Risk: Is there an increased risk of heart disease with long-term ketosis?
▪️Short-Term vs. Long-Term Outcomes: Is ketosis only effective for short-term outcomes?
There is a lot of information circulating online touting the risks of long-term ketogenic diets that is completely unfounded. Dr. Scher tackles these prevalent questions, analyzing scientific evidence and dispelling myths surrounding ketogenic diets.

Absolutely right! I will add from my own experiences... Here's a prescription for antidepressants for your anxiety and depression - start taking these immediately following my very brief conversation with you. We have no idea how they truly work, I haven't examined or questioned you for more than 5 or 10 minutes, but do go off and start taking these really potent potentially damaging and sometimes impossible to get off pills which come with a huge array of side effects for many people, and which won't actually help your problem in many cases. Jeez. But switching up your diet to eat, really, how humans are supposed to eat, and there's need for extreme caution, monitoring, supervision etc etc. Make it make sense!

Eating a ketogenic diet for 7 years isnt the same as being in nutritional ketosis for 7 years. To know that, you would have had to monitor your ketones 24/7 for 7 years. I don't mean to be a dic#, but the terminology confusion is what opens a window for criticism from the high carb mainstream "gurus". I congratulate you on 7 years of the keto diet, you must feel incredible.

True, the skeptics are always looking for ways to confirm their biases and unexamined assumptions, often through contrived means such as relying on strawman arguments or other logical fallacies such as moving the goalposts. I'm not really interested in engaging those folks. What I know is I've consumed fewer than 30 grams of carbs (typically less than 20) every day for 7 years. If someone wants to dismiss that as insignificant for whatever reason, fine; they can do that. Whatever the details of my metabolic state and physiology, I'm content with the practical reality of being able to be as active as I want, engaging many physically intense activities while also working manual labor jobs, including a job that had me working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. I also happened to earn a PhD while eating high fat low carb. So it works, whatever precisely is happening.

It's amazing that so much effort goes into trying to disprove low-carb diet benefits! Is not the opposite - a high-carb/sugar diet - the very pathway, over time, to Type 2 diabetes? Do some reading on mental decline, often termed Type 3 diabetes, as well as other metabolic ailments and then consider whether low-carb or high-carb is the better route for long-term health. A Keto Diet does not ban ANY foodsort. Choose to your heart's content, as long as daily carbs are kept within the accepted boundaries of moderation. Read the comments below for the benefits these folk have achieved, or better yet, try it yourself.

People wanting to be doctors study "medicine" not holistic health treatment... Information given by my doctors was so obviously nonsensical so I did my own search and found Keto. I used to rattle with all the pills they prescribed and di noting to solve any of my conditions yet a keto diet and complete ban of sugar or carbs has seen so many conditions clear up and cannot remember a time when I felt so well. I am reduced to one blood pressure pill and may well be pill free at my next doctor visit. my personal experiment concludes that we have been lied to for decades to our health detriment and keto is great.

I first adopted a ketogenic diet about 15 years ago, dropping net carbs to under 30 and losing nearly 50 lbs, which brought me from Class 1 obese to normal for my height. I know now that 30-50 grams of carbs will hold my weight steady. Over that range for more than a few days and I'll begin weight gain. Under it and I'll lose. No metabolic issues and great panels. In contrast, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend between 225 and 325 grams of carbs a day....TEN TIMES what I consume. No wonder nearly 40% of American adults aged 20 and over are obese. 71.6% of adults aged 20 and over are overweight, including obesity. Healthy carbs, my ass! Way to sell us out to Big Ag and Big Fast Food, Mayo Clinic and FDA!

I'm a metastatic cancer patient and have been on Ketogenic diet since October 2019 1 yr after my cancer diagnosis. I also do Intermittant fasting though it's difficult to do while on treatments that force you to eat something to take the meds with. However I try to fast during my recovery periods in between the cycles. Keto has reversed my type 2 diabetes, I'm no longer on high blood pressure meds and no longer on statins either. I've also brought my weight down from 252lbs down to 180lbs and still need 20-40 more lbs to go to get to my ideal weight for my age and proper body mass. My cancer has been stable for the past year and I believe it's due to my body in more of a healthy metabolic state. My goal is to starve the cancer as it can't your ketones to feed from. The best I can hope for is to put the cancer into some form of remission. I also have totally abstained from all fructose nor do I ingest any form of extra glucose except what my own body produces. Even that is kept to a strict minimum. So I've reached and past my 5 yr cancer survival period and still going strong!

this is a great point, Dr. scher, that any diet can induce disordered eating. this is not keto diet specific. in fact, what is disordered eating? any healthy dietary pattern deviating from an ultraprocessed food diet?? I have done the fodmap diet various times which is also accused of being dangerous long term and induce disordered eating. I opinion that both keto diet and fodmap diet can rectify disordered eating as both diets provide a clear eating plan for health minded individuals, containing nutritious foods that contribute to keeping people healthy.

I adopted a low carbohydrate / ketogenic diet 7 years ago for insulin resistance and T2D resistant to metformin. I reversed my T2D in a few weeks and went on to lose 30 kg with no efforts at all, adopting a 16/8 or omad life style. My fatty liver has regressed and triglycerides are very low matched with a small rise in cholesterol bound fats. During the weight loss phase I would check my ketone levels (0.2 - 2.5) together with my blood sugar but I rarely do so now. With the approbation of my oncologists I continued my diet through an 8 month chemotherapy for a generalised lymphoma and the exceptional tolerance and response to this treatment was attributed by them to the low carbohydrate diet. I occasionally introduce carbs and as a result experience hunger pangs and low energy that indicates that I am still insulin resistant. Insulin resistance and carbohydrate intake is a slippery slope on which I no longer venture. A retired physician, at 79 I am back to university to study languages and I definitely believe that for me this diet improves cognition. I have recently had a lithotricy for kidney stones that were present before my diet but have increased in size and the question is whether calcium oxalate stones develop under this diet. The challenge is isolation and incredulity with my peers, many of whom have adopted this diet.

I´ve been on keto for 15 months now and only times i have dropped off ketosis were at the begining when i ate too much carbs couple times. Even that i had fat adabtation, i couldn´t eat much of carbs without falling off ketosis. Now after several months of keto i can eat more carbs but i just don´t. I still try to limit my carbs for 20 grams per day. But if i eat more that means that i´ve eaten alot of vegetables and some of those carbs are fiber that does not absorb in the body.

He is compelled to abide by those rules, which no doubt include something to the effect that he can’t just give medical advice to people wily-nily if they aren’t his patients and if he hasn’t gone through the long list of medical issues a particular person has and knows what drugs and supplements they are taking and what interactions there could be. There are plenty of people who also need to be on other kinds of diets for their health issues - like an anti-histamine diet, or a diet rich in some nutrient that they lack, or a diet that avoids all kinds of allergens, or a diet that doesn’t interact with some life-saving medication.

@RC-qf3mp 20 күн бұрын

Inuit have zero heart disease which is the #1 killer for Americans for the past several decades. Traditional Inuit do not have ‘short lived lives’, and when they do die, there’s no evidence that ketosis has anything to do with it. Yet, your comment contradicts itself - if Inuit have a special gene so that they can eat low carb without getting into ketosis, then they are not on a ketogenic diet (according to your speculation), and if they are not on a ketogenic diet, then how is it “Mother Nature” has ‘spoken’ about them with respect to ketosis? If what you say is true, then Inuit diet has no relevance to the topic of the video - ketogenic diet’s long-term safety - b/c the Inuit, according to you, don’t eat a ketogenic diet. A keto diet is a diet that induces ketosis; if Inuit can’t get into ketosis, then they aren’t on a keto diet. Inuit also don’t have heart disease, which is the #1 killer of Americans for decades.

The body is amazing....it will stabilize on its own even if maintaining a keto way of eating.

I’d guess the long term effects of Keto diet depend largely on what types of food an individual replaces their carb calories with. If you eat a ton of red meat everyday, that could really be bad for your health.

"Red meat" is not a scientific category.

Could you please provide any published interventional studies, not epidemiological "turds," that demonstrate a direct causal relationship between meat consumption and negative health outcomes? I have conducted an extensive literature review and have not yet identified any such studies. If you are aware of any, I would greatly appreciate your sharing them here. Cheers

Why?

@@LowCarbLowDrama Calm down champ! Studying the long-term health effects of any factor using randomized and controlled experiments is extremely difficult for obvious reasons. Given the scarcity of such data, we should not dismiss the findings from meta-analyses of observational studies. That's why I said, "it could", not "it definitely would."
