Keto Diet Linked to Fatty Liver Disease in Mice Study

A new study found that mice on a keto diet, which is high in fats and low in carbs, gained less weight but developed fatty liver disease.

This condition is a early stage of chronic liver disease.

The study also found that the keto diet affected how the mice regulated blood sugar.

After a few months, the mice had low blood sugar and insulin levels, but when carbs were reintroduced, their blood sugar spiked.

The researchers suggest that people considering a keto diet should talk to their doctor, monitor their liver function, and avoid extreme versions of the diet.

They also suggest that a balanced diet might be safer and more sustainable.
