I am also a believer in supplements. I think we do our body a big favor by supplementing a good form of magnesium at our maximum tolerance dosage.
But as I've learned with a 89-year old ancestor (who says he's suffering from "almost 90 syndrome" - but only temporarily), if you're a lady or gentleman (or not) of advancing years, your sense of thirst tends to decrease, possibly below the level needed to keep yourself adequately hydrated.
And if you're diabetic and don't tend to drink enough, the concentration of glucose in your blood can climb merely because there's insufficient fluid to dilute the sugar that's there.
Our bodies also tend to need more of some essential nutrients as we fossilize (such as Vitamin D), so we'd be doing ourselves an extra-large favor by getting an age-appropriate dose of the right supplements.

Yeah, they all died.
Did you look at the causes of death in the cited studies? Here's one of them:
10 deaths at follow-up; 7 from children still on keto diet:
o 2 died of pneumonia
o 2 died from epilepsy
o 1 fell from height
o 2 not disclosed
Bwahahahaha! I started laughing so loud that startled my family. I had to read all of this to my husband and boys.... They had a good laugh too.
I do wish keto mom had not used a medically prescribed classical ketogenic diet for this article. She really was not clear that it was not your usual ketogenic diet. I know many people who read her stuff, and that was quite misleading.
The chart was very wrong for me too. Even the low platelet count was problem for me 20+ years ago. And the high lipid panel? I don't know.... She seemed to intentionaly mislead or she was using dated information. I didn't look at her sources so I guess I should do that.0 -
