Some decent, but misleading information
The episode on trendy diets has some misleading information. The doctor they interview slams many diets and even goes so far as to call Keto a pro-inflammatory diet without looking at the nuances. I’m not overweight, but I went Paleo originally and then Keto due to my Ankylosing Spondylitis, and on Keto I was in complete remission. My blood glucose, cholesterol, and all other levels in bloodwork are extremely healthy. Despite my chronic illness, on labs, I look healthier than anyone else in my family. Certain types of inflammatory arthritis are linked with bacterial dysbiosis, and excessive carbohydrate intake exacerbates that issue by feeding pathogenic bacteria that can cause cross reactivity with your immune system. Gluten and refined sugars are highly inflammatory in nature (even without feeding bad bacteria) and cutting back will reduce your inflammation, not increase it. Done appropriately, you can still obtain plenty of nutrition (vitamins, minerals, fiber) from a ketogenic or paleo diet because you can still eat plenty of high fiber veggies. Done poorly (think mountains of bacon on keto), and yes, it can be bad. As always, a diet change should be run by your doctor and monitored. The information presented in that episode did nothing but lambast diets that have helped thousands with inflammatory arthritis.
