Default Good link!

David, just wondering if you follow the traditional Keto from the 1920's, the one from 1950's or the combo version from 1989 or your own? I didn't even know there were different versions.

The line that got me was at the very end: "the idea of developing the ketogenic diet in a ‘pill’ is very attractive and may be approachable." I understand that in context it was pertaining to alleged possible side effects but seriously, another cha-ching for big Pharma with definite side effects at no extra charge.

Prejudice and anti-fat propaganda run deep! I do enjoy getting a laugh, sometimes a nervous one, from physicians when they ask me what I've done to improve my health and serum cholesterol levels and I respond "by introducing about 5-10 times the recommended daily fat intake, with lots of saturated and animal fats."
