KETO DIET RISKS
The rationale for Keto Diet by its advocates
Restricting carbohydrates, suppressing insulin and ketosis will lead to better metabolic heath, increase weight loss, reduce inflammation, and protect from chronic diseases.
Keto Claim: Carbohydrates raise insulin leading to fat storage – keto lowers insulin and burns body fat better
Debunking: Ketosis is a metabolic state and not a health outcome. For example ketones can be elevated by very long fasting, starvation, different illnesses and uncontrolled diabetes.
Keto Claim: By minimizing carbs keto stabilizes blood sugar, reduce insulin spikes, and improve insulin sensitivity that benefits those with type 2 diabetes
Debunked: This claim contradicts the evidence of induced hepatic insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in longer-term studies. In animal models, keto diets impair blood sugar regulation within several days, which shows harm for metabolic health.
Keto Claim: Ketones are seen as “clean” fuel that advocates claim are anti inflammatory and neuroprotective. Believe that this along with ketosis lowers triglycerides, raises HDL cholesterol, and improves lipid profiles. They argue that the increase in LDL cholesterol is benign. Claim saturated fats are harmless if carbs are low
Debunked: This claim is undermined by the increased LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and cardiovascular risks from saturated fats in animal products. Meta-analyses show no long-term lipid improvements from keto diets. Rather this is the risk in elevated low-density lipoprotein and very-low-density lipoproteins that increase cardiovascular disease Also, insulin reduction does not override the quality of fat. LDL cholesterol and ApoB, as well as atherosclerosis, increase significantly on an animal based diet. Saturated fat still remains a causal factor for cardiovascular disease.
Keto Claim: High protein and fat increases satiety and therefore reduces hunger
Debunking: Weight loss is primarily from reduced intake due to satiety, not fat-burning efficiency. Long-term keto adherence often leads to weight regain with no significant sustained benefits for visceral fat or appetite control. hort term weight loss is not same as long term benefits. A study shows that weight loss at 3-6 months on a keto diet disappears by 12 months
Keto Claim: It enhances brain function and energy that then improves mental clarity and mood. Argue that animal products like eggs and organ meats provides choline and other nutrients for brain health.
Debunked: There is no strong evidence for this claim. In fact keto’s nutrient deficiencies and lack of fiber in the long term can lead to fatigue, constipation and in women neural tubal defects. Keto’s claims are only based on short term trials.
Keto Claim: Use the evolutionary argument that humans evolved eating meat and fat – same argument the paleo folks used. Therefore, they believe keto diets align with human biology
Debunked: A big study in Science in 2025 analyzed tooth enamel from skeletons of some of our oldest human ancestors, 3.5 million years ago, and found they ate predominately a plant based diet with no substantial sigh of mammalian meat. The isotopes matched herbivores (fruits, leaves and grasses, tubers, nuts, other vegetation) not carnivores.
Keto Diet Risks
It is worth noting, according to the Northwestern University Health site, there is a sizable drop out rate of participants in keto trials.
Although, there are studies that show keto does what it claims in the short term, there are no long-term human data to support their claims that an animal-based diet does this efficiently.
Important, research leans in the direction to indicate that keto’s benefits – especially weight loss and glucose reduction, are transient and may not be directly related to animal food consumption itself but rather to calorie reduction and limiting glycogen.
Long term prospective studies and systematic meta analysis evaluations consistently show high red meat consumption, full-fat dairy and animal fats are associated with the following medical conditions. This is true even when carbohydrate intake is low
A good thorough study in JAMA shows that unprocessed red meat mildly increases all cause mortality – about 3-5% per 100 grams meat per day
High red and processed meat consumption increases carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds and heterocyclic amines that raise cancer risks by up to 18% per 50-100 grams/day – from meta analysis in the European Journal of Epidemiology
Dairy increases IGF-1 levels thereby too much calcium also suppressing Vitamin D and elevating prostate cancer risks by 79% per 400 gram dairy per day. Worse for processed meats that inreases risk by 21% per 20 grams/day – American Journal of Epidemiology
Red meat is linked to hormonal disruptions and carcinogens contributing breast cancer – European Journal of Cancer
Total unprocessed red meat consumption shows a modest 5% risk in pancreatic cancer per 100 grams/day. – From journal Clinical Nutrition
Many meta-analyses on meats have a relationship to stomach/gastric cancer, but processed meats are worse than unprocessed red meat. From study in Nutrients – 24 studies showed unprocessed red meat associated with gastric cancer by about 25% increase risk for every 100 grams/day.
Unprocessed red meat is linked to an 11% higher risk in overall cardiovascular disease risk due to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. – from European Heart Journal
Saturated fats in meats increases non-HDL cholesterol and blood pressure and raises the risks of ischemic heart disease by 119% per 100 grams/day red meat – from American J Clinical Nutrition
Red meat diets reduce LDL Cholesterol much less than plant proteins and thereby increase atherosclerosis risks – from the journal Circulation
Red meats (an processed meats also in this study) contributes to insulin resistance via heme iron and raises Type 2 diabetes risks by up to 51% per 50 grams/day – International Journal Environmental Research in Public Health
Saturated fats in unprocessed red meat has a modest positive 12% increase with stroke risk – From European Heart Journal
Unprocessed poultry consumption shows a modest 4% increase in incident cardiovascular events per 100 grams/day. This is believed to be due to arachidonic acid poultry – in JAMA
Red meat contributes to sodium and saturated fat intact raising hypertension conditions by 14% per 50-100 gram/day – from journal Advanced Nutrition
Saturated fats from animal products cause lipotoxicity and insulin resistance, that promotes hepatic fat accumulation leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – from Cardiovascular Development and Disease
High animal protein increases urinary calcium and acid overload leading to the formation of kidney stones – from the journal Nutrient
Animal-heavy diets have low fiber and micronutrient intake that contribute to nutrient deficiencies. Also causes constipation that can lead to immune system issues. – from the journal Nutrients
Red meat, dairy, and eggs disrupts the gut metabolism of carnitine and choline. This promotes TMAO plaque formation and inflammation that leads to atherosclerosis. – from Journal of Cardiovascular Development.
Although unprocessed meat consumption has not been adequately associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s – yes, processed meats do – there are studies showing red meat is associated with “subjective cognitive decline” (SCD) which is related to precursors to dementia and Alzheimer’s. A study in journal Neurology links unprocessed red meat eaten at 1 or more servings per day to 16% higher risk in SCD.
High caloric density from saturated animal fats displaces fiber that contributes to weight gain obesity. From Neal Barnard in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Animal products transmit prions that are associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Proinflammatory compounds like TMAO are linked to neurological risks. – in International Journal of Molecular Science

Boosting a Natural Molecule (NAD+) Reverses Alzheimer’s Brain Damage in New Study
University of Oslo & Ullevaal University Hospital (Norway), February 8, 2026
One of the key drivers of brain dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the protein tau. Under normal conditions, tau helps maintain the internal structure of neurons, supporting the transport systems that allow nerve cells to function properly. In Alzheimer’s disease, however, tau becomes abnormally modified and begins to clump together. These aggregates interfere with normal cellular transport, damage neurons, and ultimately contribute to memory impairment.
Now, an international team of scientists has identified a previously unrecognized way to protect the brain from this degeneration. Their research shows that increasing levels of the naturally occurring molecule NAD⁺ can counteract neurological damage linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
Previous research has suggested that boosting NAD⁺ using precursor compounds such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can produce beneficial effects in animal models of AD and in early-stage clinical studies. However, the biological processes responsible for these effects have remained poorly understood,” explains first author Alice Ruixue Ai.
The new study reveals that NAD⁺ works through a previously unidentified RNA-splicing pathway. This pathway is regulated by a protein called EVA1C, which plays an essential role in the process of RNA splicing. RNA splicing allows a single gene to produce multiple isoforms of a protein, and one isoform may show distinctive effects on the other isoforms. Its dysregulation is one of the most recently acknowledged risk factors for AD.
