The NLA has released a scientific statement that analyzes the impact of low-carbohydrate and very-low-carbohydrate diets (including ketogenic diets) on cardiometabolic risk factors and body weight. The statement offers conclusions regarding the potential benefits, risks, and evidence gaps regarding low-carbohydrate and very-lowcarbohydrate diets and emphasizes the importance of an evidence-based cardioprotective dietary pattern and active lifestyle to promote cardiovascular health.
