A recent study from The Lundquist Institute challenges the idea that a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet automatically raises heart disease risk. Published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Advances, the research explores cardiovascular outcomes among individuals on long-term keto diets who exhibit elevated LDL cholesterol, a group described as Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs). The findings suggest no direct correlation between higher cholesterol markers (ApoB and LDL-C) and heart disease in this population.

A recent study from The Lundquist Institute has sparked discussion within the health community, suggesting that the low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet may not, after all, increase the risk of heart disease despite previous concerns about elevated cholesterol levels. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Advances, brings new insights into the cardiovascular risk associated with the popular keto diet, often adopted for its benefits in managing various chronic conditions.
