Isn ketosis a dangerous condition?
Ketosis is not dangerous for non -insulin dependent diabetics and people of “normal” health. Epileptic children have been put on ketogenic diets for years as a method of treatment. The Inuit (i.e. Eskimos) have eaten ketogenically for long periods of time. Virtually all of the diets discussed, including the CKD and Atkins do not have the dieter in a constant state of ketosis. The long term effects of ketosis are unknown.
