Iāve been seeing this headline circulating:
š āKeto Diet linked to Liver Cancerā
Understandably, it sounds alarmingāespecially if youāve never practiced low-carb or studied how it actually works.
So I took time to read the study itself, not just the headline.
What was labeled as āketoā in this research was a high-fat but also highly inflammatory diet, fed to mice:
fats coming mainly from soybean oil
carbohydrates from maltodextrin and sugar
This is not how real low-carb or therapeutic keto is practiced.
This is why, on The Low-Carb Path, we always say:
š Education comes before discipline.
If you donāt study the detailsāingredients, context, and study designāitās very easy to be misled by headlines that oversimplify complex science.
Low-carb is not about blindly eating fat.
Itās about reducing metabolic stress, lowering inflammation, and supporting the bodyās natural healing processesāwhen done properly.
Let this be a reminder:
Not all āstudiesā are equal.
Not all āketoā is the same.
And not all headlines tell the whole truth.
Choose clarity over fear.
Choose understanding over noise.
ā The Low-Carb Path šæ
Grabe. Nakakatakot ano?
š"Keto Diet ā”ļø Liver Cancer"
Published lang yan nitong 02 Jan 2026. Sa mga makakabasa nyan, lalo na yung mga Anti-Low Carb na mga Doctor at Nutritionist, ang sasabihin sa inyo, "sabi ko na sa inyo!"
Since citizen scientist tayo, meaning, ang gusto lang natin ay katotohanan, binasa at pinagaralan ko yan, pati yung mga sources, at sources ng sources!
Anyway, ito:
š¹Pinakain ang mga daga ng High Fat Diet na 60% in terms of calories.
š¹Ang fat compositon ay: Soybean oil at lard (taba ng baboy) - this is the first red flagš©.
Ang soybean oil ay OUT sa tamang keto dahil it is a highly inflammatory oil (50% Linoleic Acid). Lard has a low/moderate (10%) content of Linoleic Acid
š¹26% na carbohydrates ay may code: "LODEX 10" at SUCROSE (o asukal). I research nyo ang "Lodex 10". yan ay MALTODEXTRIN. Jusko. It has the highest glycemic index in the world at up to 130. At ang fructose ng sucrose ay ginagawa agad na taba sa liver. Yan ang 2nd red flagš©
šSo this is a TOXIC and HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY DIET. Kawawa naman yung mga daga na nagka liver cancer.
Sinimulan nila ang 2026 sa pagpapabagsak ng Low Carb Diet. Kaya kailangan mong maging mas mapanuri.
I wish you Health ā¤
