As best I can tell, the comment is accurate and asserts three things:

1. It depends a lot on individual factors.

2. What we know is limited.

3. Caloric restriction seems helpful, regardless of what you actually eat.

I haven't really looked at keto. What I can tell you is that different fats have different chemical composition and this impacts how the body reacts to them, especially if you have specific problems.

I have no plans to ever get all that knowledgeable about keto. I don't think it actually makes sense and I suspect its positive reputation is probably rooted in benefits from confounding factors that haven't been identified, such as inadvertently eliminating allergens for some people. If you stop eating things that are actively making you low grade sick, you will feel better, possibly dramatically so, and it almost doesn't matter what you actually are eating, so long as it is less harmful than what you were consuming.

"...inadvertently eliminating allergens..."

Whatever your view on ketosis, I strongly agree that food allergies may be causing more grief than we know. In particular, I suspect most people with GERD are consuming food they're allergic to. It's tragic.
