Yeah, there are a few comments like these now about how keto benefits must for-sure be a fluke correlation. Even though the submitted article apparently says otherwise. (On the other hand (comment says) my own anecdotes are rock-solid.)

It’s weird enough how all science articles attract but-what-about-correlation knee-jerk comments. But diet articles also seem to attract anecdote wars.

Animals feel stressed in zoos and modern people have few natural struggles. Diets are like natural wars and natural war feels natural and clean therefore feels good. People like telling war stories. War stories show where the teller overcame a real struggle, better story if struggle was natural and clean. Even better if teller was a hero in the story. Everyone is a hero in their own diet story.
