May 14, 2021Theory About How Keto Diet Works is Rejected in Perspectives Article in ScienceSpeakman said “The carbohydrate insulin model was a good attempt to try and explain why we get fat, and why keto diets help reverse it. However, our data in both mice and humans clearly show it is... The keto diet has become very popular in recent years. It involves changing the diet so that almost all carbs are eliminated. In consequence it has very high levels of fat and protein, mostly deriv... -
