Description
Maria Edwards and co-authors test whether a high-fat, low-carb diet can be used safely in adults healing from a brain injury. Their study, dated 2023 in its own text, draws on animal work that hints ketosis may limit further harm to the brain. Human proof was thin, so the team ran a small trial of whether the plan can work at all.
Patients in the weeks after a brain injury were offered six weeks of the diet, with added fats from a set source. The goal was to lift a blood marker of ketosis past a set line and hold it there. Some patients were tube-fed and some ate meals, with matched products for each path. The team logged how well the diet was kept and every ill effect that came up.
