Ketones vs Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Click for: ScienceDaily: High Caloric Diet May Prevent Progression Of

Amyotrophic

Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060417104324.htm

Dr. Walford died of ALS. His calorie restricted, high carbohydrate diet, it

seems,

and was rather the opposite diet type found helpful in this study against ALS.

The details are in the below, including the free-to-all available pdf. However,

the

diets were either ketogenic or not fed ad libitum. Weight was examined, not the

calories consumed. The sciencedaily report may have compared the ketogenic diet

to

other diets that use CR in their description of the ketogenic diet as a high

caloric

diet.
