While there's reasonable evidence to support the use of the ketogenic
diet for clinical purposes as mentioned above, the use of the ketogenic diet for people just looking to optimize their diet and lose weight is a bit more controversial.
As
for Mercola and his marketing, I think that if his
clinical outcomes supported the idea that everyone should be on a raw, vegan
diet, he would simply sell blenders, dehydrators, ceramic knives and advertise
for CSA's and import the best of the best superfoods like David Wolfe and others, and convince ranchers to raise livestock
for the
purpose of selling high quality manure and ecofriendly - harvested seaweeds so we can all grow our own food in healthy soil.
