The Dangers Of Keto

Keto's success and claim to fame was for seizures, and still is. It was never meant to be a weight loss program, and is extremely dangerous to use as such. Be sure to look into all the citing's and if you want to ask questions, please do. I am always happy to help.
If you feel you may have already caused damage to your health by using this or another type of fad diet, let's talk about getting your body on the right track!
So far not a single clinical study has shown a measurable benefit from a ketogenic diet for any human cancer. (1)
Ketogenic diets claim they are "diabetic safe" and able to "reverse diabetes" but what is going on inside the body tells a different story. What's happening is the symptom HIGH BLOOD SUGAR, is being confused with the DISEASE, which is CARBOHYDRATE INTOLERANCE.
People with diabetes can't properly handle carbohydrates , and this manifests as high blood sugars. Sure, if you stick to eating fat, your blood sugars will stay low, but you are actually making the disease worse.
We've known for nearly a century that if you put people on a ketogenic diet, their carbohydrate intolerance can skyrocket within just two days. (2)
One week on an 80% fat diet, and you can quintuple your blood sugars spikes in reaction to the same carb load compared to a week on a low fat diet. (3)
Just a single meal high in saturated fat can make the cause of diabetes, carbohydrate intolerance, worse within a few hours. (4)
With enough weight loss by any means, whether cholera or a good meth habit - type 2 diabetes can be reversed., but a ketogenic diet for diabetes may not just be papering over the cracks but actively throwing fuel on the fire. Even though you appear to no longer be diabetic, on the inside you are digging your health into a deeper hole. The reason keto proponents claim they can reverse diabetes, is that they can successfully wean type 2 diabetics off their insulin. (5)
The diabetics' intolerance isn't gone, it could be as bad and will get worse over time. Type 2 diabetes is reversed when you have normal blood sugar, on a normal diet, off all medications. **keyword = normal diet, not standard American diet, not ketogenic diet... but a diet high in the food God made, that heals our body.Any diabetic can maintain normal blood sugars eating a stick of butter, but only a cured diabetic can maintain the same feat eating a banana. Diabetics truly can be reversed this way with a healthy enough diet, sometimes in a matter of weeks and even without much weight loss. (6)
**The true diabetics reversal diet, with more than 300 grams of carbs a day, is practically the opposite of a ketogenic diet. (7)
This same diet, heals and reverses much of the disease we create with our poor diet habits, and increases our energy and the familiar saying from those following this diet = I feel like I'm aging backwards!
One of the ketones you make on a ketogenic diet is acetone (known for its starring role in nail polish remover) Acetone does more than just make keto dieters fail breathalyzer tests. (8)And describe what is known as "rotten apple breath" (9)
Acetone can oxidize in the blood to acetol, which may be a precursor for methylglyoxal. (10)
That may be why non diabetic keto dieters can end up with methylglyoxal levels as high as those with out of control diabetes. (11) or end up with a heart attack.
So the irony of treating diabetes with a ketogenic diet extends beyond just the potential of making the underlying disease worse, but by mirroring some of the diabetes dire consequences. 
Other health issues you can attribute to the ketogenic diet=
Bone fractures (12)  (13)
Kidney Stones (14)
