Correlation does NOT mean causation.
There’s a lot of hype around a ketogenic diet (high fat, moderate protein, very low carb) and eating a lot of animal foods.
1) the ketogenic diet is not a high-protein diet.
2) the nonsense coming from these people saying eating animal foods, especially whole eggs, is toxic to the human body comes from correlation studies, if backed by anything.
This simply means the studies looked at a random group of people and correlated who ate animal foods to who died at whatever age or got sick.
This doesn’t exclude whether or not the person was an alcoholic, ate processed foods every day, was addicted to sugar, smoked, was sedentary, what source and quality the animal foods were, how much protein they ate a day, and so on.
On the contrary, there’s an abundance of studies using control studies showing eating a proper ketogenic diet or quality animal foods in optimal amounts does not cause harm to the body and in fact it can help people with a plethora of issues.
I personally follow a ketogenic diet with a focus on plenty of organic, non-starchy veggies followed by plenty of healthy fat, quality sources of moderate amounts of protein, and making sure to get enough sodium (salt) in my diet.
I have been learning more and more to question studies leading people to saying irrational things like keto or animal foods make you die sooner. P.S., you can follow a vegan ketogenic diet, it’s just very difficult and costly.
Stay open minded, love yourself, do your research, and reach out for support. 💚✌️
