The National Institute of Health 10 Year Nutritional Plan draft does not include plans to study low-carb/keto diets for the next 10 years. “Follow the money” & “Read between the lines”: without specific mention, clinical trials of low-carb/keto diets are likely to be excluded from future funding. However, the Western, Mediterranean and vegetarian diets are specifically noted in the Draft Plan.
Our past comments helped persuade USDA-HHS to put “low-carb” and “saturated fats” on the list of topics to be studied for the next Dietary Guidelines. Now we need to let NIH know low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diets MUST BE INCLUDED in funding for clinical trials.
The Clock is Ticking: Please take the next 2 minutes NOW and be sure your comment is submitted by the December 15th Deadline
