40+ increased risk of heart failure with high protein (Atkins) type diet

That is at least partially true. Over time, my reading is that only the very devoted can extend a real keto diet. Most go through modification or abandonment. HOwever, my memory is that there are some relatively long term keto diet studies.

It seems that keto diets are perhaps good for some people as a weight loss tool and possibly for other conditions .....and generally imiplemented on a temporary basis or included as dietary habit/practice in cycles.

Journal Alzheimers Disease and Dementia just reported that diets low in BCAA's increase risk of dementia.

I wouldn't say partially. Once you factor in self-report bias, who knows what people being studied are actually doing.

As we have exchanged previously, getting good data in this realm is difficult and we don't have metabolic wards everywhere with people happy to inhabit them. World far from perfect. We actually do have very good data on keto long term in refractory epilepsy. How this translates is uncertain to me. Different "animal".

We do now have some very good tools such as the food intake app on mycircadianclock.org. I hope more researchers will go in this direction.
