A recent study in mice:
all fed the same calories
- control group
- low carb but not ketosis
- zero carb ketogenic diet
Longevity was improved in low carb and was best in the ketogenic diet.
Some other takeaways:
- a lower presence of tumors at death in keto mice
- keto mice showed improved healthspan on a number of tests (memory, motor function, strength)
- lower inflammation markers in keto mice
