Research
Peer-reviewed research relevant to low-carb and ketogenic nutrition.
We monitor leading scientific databases daily — PubMed, Europe PMC, and OpenAlex — for peer-reviewed studies on low-carb, ketogenic, and metabolic nutrition. Each paper is evaluated for relevance by AI and summarized in plain language.
Low-Carb Diets Show Promise for Type 2 Diabetes Remission
New research suggests that cutting carbs, especially when combined with intermittent fasting, can significantly improve blood sugar control and even lead to remission for some with type 2 diabetes. This structured lifestyle approach offers hope for managing the condition.
Obesity and Blood Markers Predict Heart Risk
New research suggests that combining certain blood sugar and fat measurements with measures of obesity can better predict heart disease risk in people with high cholesterol. Focusing on both factors may improve early detection.
Fat-Burning Pathway Offers Weight and Temperature Clues
Scientists have identified a new signaling pathway involving a hormone called GDF15. This pathway seems to help protect against weight gain and maintain body temperature during stress. It could offer insights into how our bodies manage weight and energy.
Kids' Fatty Liver Disease Linked to Obesity and Diabetes
A growing number of children and teens are developing fatty liver disease, closely tied to obesity and type 2 diabetes. This condition can start early and poses serious health risks, especially when combined with other metabolic issues.
Ketones May Help Fight Aggressive Thyroid Cancer
New research suggests that the ketogenic diet and its primary fuel source, ketone bodies, could offer a novel approach to treating an aggressive form of thyroid cancer. This study found that ketones can significantly inhibit cancer cell growth and spread, potentially opening doors for new dietary strategies in cancer therapy.
Beyond Weight: New Obesity Treatments Revealed
Obesity is a complex disease, not just excess weight. Discover the latest research on surgical and medical interventions that offer lasting results for managing obesity and related health issues.
Gut Bacteria's Hidden Role in Weight and Sugar Control
Discover how your gut microbes produce compounds that powerfully influence your body's handling of sugar and weight. This insight shifts focus from just calories to the specific chemical signals your gut sends.
Low-Carb Diets Linked to Higher Obesity Risk in Kids
A study found that children and teens eating fewer carbs and more fat/protein had a higher chance of being obese. This suggests low-carb eating might not always be healthy for kids.
New Diet Strategies for Post-Weight-Loss Surgery Success
Regaining weight after bariatric surgery can happen. This study explored how a very low-carb ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can help patients regain control. These lifestyle changes show promising results for better weight management and health markers.
Fatty Liver, Diabetes, and Your Gut: The Connection
New research explores how gut health, fat in the liver, and diabetes are linked. Understanding this connection could lead to better ways to manage these conditions.
New Marker May Help Predict Kidney Issues in Diabetes
A simple blood test can now offer insights into the risk of kidney damage for type 1 diabetes patients. This marker, along with monitoring blood sugar, could help doctors spot early signs of trouble.
Fat Cells' Tiny Messengers Impact Liver Health
New research shows how tiny particles sent by fat cells can worsen liver problems. Understanding this could lead to new ways to protect your liver.
