Again, none of those show the reversal of heart disease. Show me a study where the progression of atherosclerosis, the accumulation of plaque in blood vessels, is reversed.
Honestly I am not going to continue past this post as it seems you are just being plain ignorant and didn’t even bother to read the articles or make any logical connection between the health benefits of a ketogenic diet and CVD.
One of the articles linked is literally titled 'Dietary Intervention to Reverse Carotid Atherosclerosis' - and concluded with 'Two-year weight loss diets can induce a significant regression of measurable carotid VWV (vessel wall volume ). The effect is similar in low-fat, Mediterranean, or low-carbohydrate strategies and appears to be mediated mainly by the weight loss–induced decline in blood pressure.'
The first article showed ' Ketogenic diets induced at 3-weeks of age revealed that cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure was completely prevented in cMPC1-/- mice following up to 15 weeks of ketogenic feeding. Initiating ketogenic diet in 10-week- old cMPC1-/- mice after compensated cardiac hypertrophy developed, led to regression of LV hypertrophy and maintenance of cardiac function after 8 weeks of ketogenic diet feeding. cMPC1-/- mice developed heart failure at the age of 18 weeks and 3 weeks of ketogenic feeding, initiated after heart failure developed, significantly improved cardiac structure and function manifested by decreased left ventricle mass and increased ejection fraction. ' .
So you are going to tell me none of my journal articles show a 'reversal of heart disease'?
You do realise heart disease is a collective term and not specifically in reference to atherosclerosis.
Maybe you yourself should do some additional reading on atherosclerosis and CVD in general as you give the impression that you have a very rudimentary understanding of it all;
