Recent studies and clinical trials have shown that a ketogenic diet, despite leading to elevated LDL cholesterol levels, does not necessarily result in increased atherosclerotic burden or plaque buildup in participants. The studies have focused on the impact of ketogenic therapy on mental health and cardiovascular disease, with findings suggesting that high LDL-C levels in lean individuals on a low-carb diet may not correlate with plaque accumulation.
Critics of the ketogenic diet initially objected when doctors requested adaptation studies longer than two weeks, as seen in Kevin Hall’s two-week crossover study. Now, these same critics demand studies spanning greater than five years, such as the results seen from the…
🚨New findings from the #LMHRstudy! 80 participants matched 1:1 with #MiHeart cohort showed no significant difference in coronary plaque burden despite higher LDL levels (272 mg/dL) and long-term ketogenic diet. No link found between LDL-C elevations and plaque.… https://t.co/mAHlkjAdNB

"After a mean duration of 4.7 years of carbohydrate restriction-induced elevations in #LDL-cholesterol [mean 272 mg/dl, max 591 mg/dl], a metabolically healthy cohort of subjects on a ketogenic diet [#LMHR] did not have greater atherosclerotic burden than participants from a… https://t.co/Ef4UFmTut2 https://t.co/uutlm3aS8m
Important study! High LDL-C was found NOT to correlate with plaque build-up in lean, fit people on a low-carb diet. This lean population "hyper-responds" to low-carb, seeing their LDL-C rise dramatically. So, quite reasonably, they worry about heart-disease risk. But this study… https://t.co/aMnF68FNMd
Good news on keto and cardiovascular disease. Small controlled study, 80 participants. After 4.7 years in keto diet and very high LDL cholesterol (mean 272!), no difference in plaque buildup compared to control group of lower LDL (mean 123). Also, no correlation between LDL level… https://t.co/a2SwusnQ2b
