Science doesn't support keto as an optimal diet for most cases, which I wouldn't call a weird stigma.

In fairness, the spike in cholesterol is a legit piece of data to be concerned about. But then again, there's other data that supports the idea that the higher cholesterol is an adaptation which doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.

Something as complex as the human metabolism is going to require a higher degree of nuance. (Also works this way for climate.)
