    Common misconception. People will eat sugary fat free products and think it is a healthy product, but think that bacon will kill them, while in all likelihood it is the other way around.

        Keto works by eliminating carbs. Not by eating bacon. Although it is all about fat and protein.

        It 100% doesn’t mean bacon is good for you.

          Bacon is fat. It is not good, not bad, it is neutral.

          The process of making bacon, however, can be bad if done incorrectly, since frying some oils (not bacon itself) at too high temperature can lead to not so healthy elements. But if you use heigh temperature oils and control the skillet temperature, or simply microwave bacon, then there is not issue here. Fat is fat, safer than simple carbs to consume for calories.

              Of course, but modern diet of average American have way too much simple carbs, so, if any correction needs to be done, it is in the direction of substituting carbs with fats (and proteins to less extend). More over, since an average American most likely already developed some level of insulin resistance, significant reduction of carbs required to desensitize the organism from insulin. Otherwise, welcome to metabolic syndrom.

      Carbs are bad for you in high quantities the same as fats.

      Sugar isn’t actually much worse than any other carb either.

      But carb elimination has been linked to early death as well.

      It’s all about the amount you eat.

            The findings show observational associations rather than cause-and-effect and what people ate was based on self-reported data, which might not be accurate.

            And the authors acknowledge that since diets were measured only at the start of the trial and six years later, dietary patterns could have changed over the subsequent 19 years.

            So yeah… quite useless, and even if it wasn’t useless, the key takeaway was that the choice to eat animal vs plants to replace the loss of carb intake was the bad/good effect, not lowering carb intake.

            One point for effort though ;-)

          Ketoacidosis can cause death… but this is usually the result of starvation or uncontrolled diabetes combined with sudden carb restrictions.
