A mouse study links long-term ketogenic diet use to liver, heart issues and metabolic harm despite weight loss.
A new mouse study suggests long-term use of the ketogenic diet may pose health risks despite its weight loss benefits.
Mice fed a high-fat, low-carb diet for up to eight months—equivalent to decades in humans—developed signs of liver and heart disease, elevated blood fat levels, and impaired glucose tolerance, with male mice showing reduced insulin secretion.
While these mice weighed less than those on a Western-style diet, the findings indicate potential metabolic harm.
Researchers and experts caution against using the diet without medical supervision, especially for non-medical purposes, and recommend consulting a healthcare provider before starting any restrictive eating plan.
