"The KD was introduced as an alternative to fasting for the long-term management of seizures in humans. The efficacy of the classic KD is optimal when the ratio of dietary fats to combined carbohydrate/protein is 4:1. This requires careful attention to diet calculations. Importantly, the KD is also gaining recognition as a potential therapy for a host of other neurological and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. When administered in restricted amounts, which do not exceed the individual’s total energy needs, the KD can also be therapeutic against malignant brain tumors in mice and humans." healthimpactnews/2013/using-the-ketogenic-diet-to-heal-brain-tumors/
