Keto vs. Plant Based Diet

[Vince]

The ketogenic diet was developed for children suffering epileptic seizures it was never intended for optimum diet health but is a better alternative than having seizures each meal contained heavy whipping cream and basically replacing any carbs calories with fat and not lots of meat and protein
I find it strange that it's become so popular as a diet especially in America when most of the healthiest populations in the world follow a balanced diet but I guess it's easy for people to blame one macro nutrient than just be accountable for the over consumption and abundance of calorie
rich food available in the modern world

It's more of a hunter-gatherer type diet. Lots of fats, not too much protein and very low carb.

I watched this DVD a few years ago and thought it was really good.

That's rather like saying "cowpox vaccine should not be used for smallpox" or "remdesvir should not be used for covid-19". A diet found to prove that a major macronutrient is totally unnecessary for human health surely may have other therapeutic benefits also? BTW, keto is also used for chemo patients, and a whole host of other syndromes involving brain chemistry. Namaste.
