Keto bias is common in the medical literature. In a study comparing the Keto to the Mediterranean diet, Keto reduced more medications, but that was left out of the conclusion @drericwestman & I wrote to the editor to set the record straight ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Important point. Under the ACA, the business model of US health insurance companies is to skim off 15% of total healthcare spend. They are therefore incentivized to maximize the amount of healthcare spend that goes through the insurance system and to see total healthcare spend to increase rather than decrease.
Why would insurance companies want premiums to go UP? CEO and founder of CrowdHealth, Andy Schoonover (@SchoonoverAndy), explains how perverse incentive structures disincentivize big medical insurance companies from reducing costs.

Ever heard of CCK? Even if you haven't heard of this important hormone, you've certainly felt its effects. It is one of the many reasons why the Low Carb Diet is SO effective.
