The Magic Pill (2017)

Not convinced the ketogenic diet is the healthiest

[2 May 2018]

It was an interesting documentary and I'm sure the the ketogenic diet can help a lot of people that have ailments. It may even prevent certain ailments. But it seems to me that you'd be hard pressed to get enough fiber which can cause other issues like colon cancer which is harder to live with than diabetes unless you catch it early. The film should have addressed that as well. I think we can all agree that sugar, overly processed foods, white flour, etc. should be avoided but not eating healthy grains is questionable in my opinion. Plus they taste great!! The film should have included more long term medical studies if they exist and perhaps gone into more detail about why this diet is healthy.
