Clinical Focus: The Plot Against Keto, Part 1
March 14, 2019
“Keto Crotch” became a viral meme in the media and was widely disseminated on social platforms. It’s a repudiation—in very personal terms—of the popular trend toward low-carb and Keto diets. But something’s fishy about Keto Crotch—there are strong indications that it’s part of an organized campaign to impugn the low-carb movement, which is gaining major popular inroads, and is threatening the bottom-lines of powerful commercial interests like Weight Watchers, pasta and bread makers, cereal companies, the beverage industry and other purveyors of carbs. Is there any truth to the claim that low-carb diets imperil feminine hygiene? What’s the evidence for a conspiracy to generate a media buzz via paid “influencers”? And that’s not all: Dubious studies have spawned headlines that suggest low-carb diets cause atrial fibrillation, stoke cravings, and contribute to digestive problems—what’s the truth? Are we being deliberately manipulated? Click HERE for part 2.
