"Repeat after me three times, ketones are not evil, ketones are not evil, ketones are not evil. OK, now that we have gotten that out of the way..." –Jeffrey Paul Krabb

Did you now?

... that in people on a low carb diet, there is a decrease in absorption of carbohydrates coming from foods so in fact even less carbohydrate is digested then could be expected judging by carb grams in the food? -- J Physiol 1991;437:563-75

... that low carbohydrate, low calorie, high-protein diet was effective in treating hear loss and vertigo in 83% of patients within five months of initiation of treatment? -- Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol 1997;76(2):128-33

... that carbohydrate diet resulted in greater improvement of fasting blood insulin, the glucose/insulin ratio and blood triglycerides that same in calories but high carbohydrate diet? -- Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 1996;20(12):1067-72

... that Omega-3 fatty acids and low carbohydrate diet were showed to be efficient for maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease? -- Am J Physiol 1996 Jul;271(1 Pt 2):R144-8

... that the Ice Ages which dominated the last two million years of human evolution brought a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet and our nutritional make up reflects the metabolic adaptations were therefore necessary to accommodate the low glucose intake? -- Diabetologia 1994;37(12):1280-6

... that a low-carbohydrate high-protein diet increased the levels of Tryptophan and 5-HT in the brain? These substances are famous for their beneficial effects on mood? -- Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi 1992;47(2):627-33

... that during low carbohydrate diets, elevated sympathetic nervous activity resulted in an increased free fatty acids (FFA) mobilization from the adipose tissue - plainly fat burning? -- J Sports Med Phys Fitness 1991;31(3):407-12
