Keto Diet Long Term May Lead to Fatty Liver Disease
Summary
A study from the University of Utah suggests that following a ketogenic (keto) diet for an extended period may lead to negative health effects such as fatty liver disease, high cholesterol, and glucose intolerance in mice. Although the keto diet initially helped the mice lose weight, these issues developed over time. The findings indicate that while a keto diet can cause initial weight loss, it may not be suitable as a long-term solution for obesity or metabolic conditions.Key Facts
- The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Utah.
- Mice on a keto diet initially lost weight but later developed health issues.
- Long-term keto diet effects included fatty liver disease and glucose intolerance.
- The keto diet is low in carbohydrates, high in fat, and moderate in protein.
- Mice on keto had dangerously high cholesterol over time.
- The study showed that insulin secretion was impaired in mice on the keto diet.
- The results are based on mice, and more research is needed to see if the same effects occur in humans.
