I have a friend who is curious about keto, but worried about the long-term effects. I've recommended Dr. Sarah Hallberg's Ted Talk and "The Art and Science of Low Carb" by Phinney and Volek". Do any of you have any favorite books, articles, podcasts, etc.? I know we have a ton of info in our "stickies", but I don't want to overwhelm her with too many sources at once. Thanks in advance.

I like the Be A Loser vids on YouTube.
The host is down to earth and entertaining but very informative. Keto and IF oriented. .1 -
I really enjoy the videos by Eric Berg. I think I've watched them all. Look him up on YouTube, he has a good way of explaining the science of keto, and covers all the whats & hows.1

Here's a recent video by low-carb researcher and author Jeff Volek (Prof, OSU; co-founder, Virta), who has been doing research on low-carb diets for over 2 decades. He's a stick-to-the-facts speaker, no miracles and nothing to sell (other than knowledge).

I listen to 2 Keto Dudes and Keto Talk as podcasts. And watched some of the other vids folks have mentioned already. I also really like Dr. Westman. He has some videos and such also.1

How Not to Die:
Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease by
Michael Greger MD, 2015
He covers how to eat to prevent/reverse most all lifestyle diseases. While he thinks like many doctors of his era about saturated fats and cholesterol I am learning so much because he has my views on living and enjoying life well beyond the current life expectancy range.
His grandmother that was given weeks to live due to heart disease at age 65 lived to be 96 after she changed her diet.
There are 2.115 reviews on Amazon. My new hard bound copy was only $16.79 At this point I call it a great buy with a ton of references.0 -
I like Marty Kendall's website. Great information on the insulin index of foods, good to know even if you aren't keto or LCHF.

I regularly listen to this podcast. There are several good ones you may be interested in. There is even one from last year talking to a lady who was one of the original NASA scientists who thinks keto is one option to reduce negative physiological effects of zero gravity.1 -
Thought I should look up the link to the podcast I just referenced. Obviously, the keto part is just a small part of the conversation. I just thought it was cool she gets it and explains why it would be helpful.

Here's an entertaining article by Michael Eades on the Framingham Follies - the lack of any correlation between the subjects' diets and serum cholesterol. Go figure.

This is very helpful as I read How to Not Die which is saying eat plant only diet or die in my view.1 -
Dr. Jason Fung's blog, here is the most recent article from there:

There is a guy with a YouTube channel and he has tons of great info and offers personal coaching on his website. I think it's called primal edge on YouTube. He is blonde and does all of his videos shirtless (*bonus). I learn so much there. Jimmy Moore podcasts, healthful pursuit podcast/YouTube and Jason Fung's audiobook "the obesity code" are awesome resources as well!1

Just watched that TED talk... that was great! Thanks for sharing.1 -
Here is a relatively-accessible item from Hyperlipid, a technical nutrition blog with a lot of interesting-looking posts:
Ketones: Should idiots be allowed to write the methods section of any "scientific" paper?
Quote: "From the philosophical point of view I expect the methods section of a paper to allow me to duplicate a given research protocol. All I am told in this case is that the ketogenic diet is 60% fat, 20% carbs and 20% protein and that it was made by Research Diet, Inc. New Brunswick, NJ. That's it. Now, until RD are bought out by some other multinational company, they have a website and this tells me that they supply only one ketogenic diet, D12336, which is 11% protein 89% fat and zero carbohydrate, pretty much what you need to get a rodent in to mild ketosis. So this research group are using a custom diet, what goes in to it is anyone's guess.
"My guess is medium chain triglycerides. I don't think you can get a mouse in to ketosis with protein at 20% of calories and carbohydrate at 20%. You'd have trouble getting a human in to ketosis with this, unless you used MCTs.
"This is important because I'm interested in teasing out whether there is any point in the enormous effort and endless tedium of eating a low carbohydrate driven ketogenic diet with thyroid deficiency, lethargy, brain fog, glucose deficiency and auto immune disease predisposition as routine sequelae, not to mention the constipation and halitosis (is this me?), when merely popping down to my local Caribbean corner store for a bottle of coconut oil might do the job equally well.
What goes in to the diet matters. Coconut oil is not safflower oil, is not butter. What goes in to the methods matters. Research must be replicable."

He gives good reasons for liking these books, and it sure would be nice to feel like I had enough time, money, and energy left in this lifetime to read and digest these babies. But if I did.....0 -

I feel this author's pain. This problem is endemic in many academic journals, including those in my field. One of the issues, that is relevant to this study, is the proliferation of pay to publish journals. The journal that this article is in is one of them. While such journals have the benefit of being open access (meaning they are free to readers), in my experience their article word limits are often substantially less than that of a traditional journal (which means less space to discuss methods and everything else). Plus, I have noticed that the publication fees, which can be quite substantial, are often paid by groups/corporations, etc. that have a vested interest in the research. So instead of buyers beware, it's readers beware.
