What do people make of this? Not sure why these two doctors see keto as a target worth attacking and I have to say that what they assert goes against virtually everything I’ve read about the effect keto has on inflammation and the immune system. I see their thing is Alzheimer’s treatment using their own plant-based protocol…

He doesn’t understand keto. He says keto leads to glucose and lipid disregulation, and that leads to immune disregulation. He’s wrong. Keto has improved metabolism and autoimmune diseases.
Yep - that is exactly what everything I have heard or read says too - that sentence alone made me question the agenda on this one
Whenever I read/hear of something that goes against what I KNOW as fact to be true, my first instinct is to follow the money.
In this case there is TRILLIONS (ok, maybe only hundreds of billions) of dollars at stake here. The big pharma (sigh, oh how I hate using the ‘movement’ lingo), big pharma cant let a cash cow go. The cost of pharmaceuticals continues to rise, while the process to create them gets better and cheaper. In a world of economics of normal merchandise, like cars, electronics, etc., prices drop as it becomes easier to make. Look at the prices of big screen TVs. {I worked for a tech company indirectly, where ALL of their electronic products had built in obsolescence. They were built TO FAIL after 3 to 5 years. And as far as I know, nearly all of them did that.}. Big industry should make things cheaper, not more expensive.
If thinking of big pharma’s way of using you as a cash cow isn’t bad enough. Chew on this a while… If your child dies from a bad vaccination, you can’t sue. Nope. No way. Not gonna happen. Thank you very much pharma lobbyists.
Congress makes the maker of immunization shots, flu shots, children’s REQUIRED vaccinations, immune to law suits?

scroll about halfway down the mile long page. It should be highlighted.
I didn’t look up the studies but the titles aren’t promising. Whenever I’ve seen a study that includes the words “the effect of dietary fat” it’s research based on soybean (or canola, whatever) oil and/or soybean oil paired with a fair amount of carbs i.e. they study some poor mice by feeding them either standard chow and or standard chow with extra fat.
While I wholeheartedly agree re Big Pharma I think this case there are even more billions as a result of Big Sugar and effectively so many food brands are either wholly or partly based on sugar and carb products - it is a much bigger lobby to be protected than pharma although it is a delight to chip away in any small way at their conspiracy of ignorance and deceit.
…and mice are mice, not human. There is enough similarity to do testing and come up with theories. But theories aren’t facts.
