#KetoDiet

A groundbreaking study has suggested that following a low-carb ketogenic diet may not increase the risk of heart disease, despite elevated levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often labeled as “bad” cholesterol. Conducted by The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Advances, this research casts doubt on long-standing assumptions about cholesterol and heart health. This development holds significant implications not just globally but also for health-conscious individuals in Thailand who are embracing the keto diet as part of a lifestyle shift.

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.

A recent study from The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, along with various research collaborators, challenges the long-held belief linking high cholesterol from low-carb ketogenic diets to increased heart disease risk. This study, which will likely spark significant discussions among health professionals and the general public alike, could reshape dietary recommendations for millions of individuals globally, including Thailand, where ketogenic diets have gained popularity among people seeking weight loss and improved health outcomes.
