Thank you and I apologize for offending you.

Both of those studies are too small and too short. The second article even says, "questions remain about long-term effects and mechanisms," so it doesn't address my original concerns. Short-term decreases in blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides are a result of suppression of appetite, followed by semi-starvation, which are the underlying mechanisms of a ketogenic diet, and are not sustainable in the long-term.
