An article was recently published in which researchers from the University of Texas linked a continuous, long-term ketogenic<\/strong> or keto diet<\/strong> to accelerated organ aging<\/strong><\/a>, but what does the keto diet consist of?<\/strong> Where did the keto diet come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several decades ago, the media popularized diets<\/a> supposedly used by celebrities to lose weight, including the keto diet<\/strong>, which is currently followed by about 13 million people<\/strong> in the United States<\/strong>, according to a paper<\/a> from the University of Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this famous diet plan had been around for a while. According to a Harvard University website<\/a>, \u201cIn the 19th century<\/strong>, the ketogenic diet was commonly used to help control diabetes<\/strong>. In 1920<\/strong>, it was introduced as a treatment for epilepsy<\/strong> in children in whom medication was ineffective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet<\/strong> has also been tested and used<\/strong> in closely monitored settings for cancer, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
