Summary of Description:
A recent study claimed that the ketogenic diet causes cardiac fibrosis, causing concern. However, Dr. Eric Berg argues that the investigation is flawed because it used a version of Keto that nobody would follow and rats, which have different physiology from humans. Dr. BergKetoieves that the study’s findings should not cause people to worry about the potential risks of the keto diet. Healthy Keto is highly anti-inflammatory and could help prevent scarring by eliminating inflammation.

Introduction
Recently, a study claimed that the ketogenic diet could cause cardiac fibrosis, which has caused some people to worry. This article will examine the reflection in detail, discussing its implications and counter-arguments. However, diving deeper into the study, we realize several flaws must be addressed.
They are looking Deeper at the study that puts rats on a low-carb diet that does not date any ketogenic diet that humans would follow. The researchers fed the rats with cocoa butter, dicalcium phosphate, and soybean oil, among other things. Remember that rats do not have the same anatomy or metabolism as humans, and they don’t have gallbladders. Furthermore, the diet that was compared was not any better, which raises important questions regarding the study’s data.
Can Keto Cause Fibrosis?
A healthy keto diet, which contains food items such as vegetables, nuts, and seeds, is highly anti-inflammatory. According to studies, consuming these foods can prevent scarring and inflammation. Fink et al. (2018) found that the ketogenic diet can induce mitochondrial biogenesis, contributing to the body’s overall health.
Healthy Keto
A healthy ketogenic diet is not portrayed in the study. A healthy keto diet contains healthy fats, vegetables, and other healthy food items that can be beneficial. The researchers fed rats cocoa butter, just one ingredient in a proper ketogenic diet. Furthermore, low-carb diets that include inflammatory foods can cause inflammation and increase the risk of heart disease.
Who Funded This Study?
Funding is a crucial factor when evaluating a study. The study in question was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, raising the agenda question. The study may have been supported by an entity that had a vested interest in portraying ketogenic diets in a negative light.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can safely say that the study in question is not indicative of a healthy ketogenic diet that humans would follow. A nutritious ketogenic diet can contribute to heart health by reducing inflammation and preventing scarring. Moreover, the study’s funding raises essential questions about the agenda. In light of these revelations, we can safely say that the ketogenic diet is effective for weight loss and heart health when done correctly.

Today we will talk about Ketot, a recent study that found that Keto induces cardiac fibrosis and scar tissue in the heart. Is this something to worry about?
When you evaluate a study, you want to ensure the data is good and truthful. I don’t believe that the version of Keto they used in this study is one anyone would do.
Let’s look at the type of diet the researchers put Keto rats on in this study:
• Casein — 16.5% of the diet (inflammatory)
• L-cystine — .25% of the diet
• Cellulose — 8.2% of the diet
• Soybean oil — 4.25% of the diet (inflammatory)
• Cocoa butter — 62.7% of the diet
• Dicalcium phosphate — 2.1% of the diet
• Calcium carbonate — .9% of the diet
• Mineral mix — 1.6% of the diet
Keep in mind if a person has cardiac fibrosis, we know there is inflammation going on. Is anyone consuming these ingredients? They only get away with calling this Keto because it’s low-carb. The diet they compared this to had different sugars and was just as bad.
RKetoalso has different physiology from humans. They don’t have gallbladders, and they aren’t designed to consume a lot of fat. To apply this version of Keto to rats and then imply that if a person consumes a ketogenic diet, they’re going to get fibrosis keto crazy. I don’t believe this will happen.
Healthy Keto is highly anti-inflammatory. It could potentially help prevent scarring by getting rid of inflammation.
