SINGAPORE – A low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet may be linked to higher levels of bad cholesterol, doubling the risk of cardiac events, according to new research.
Dr Iatan’s research team studied data from UK Biobank, a large-scale biomedical database, and participants were mostly followed for at least 10 years. Dr Reginald Liew, a senior consultant cardiologist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, said Dr Iatan’s study is useful and “provides additional evidence that the keto diet may be detrimental in some people and increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke”.
In an observational study such as Dr Iatan’s, the source of fats of participants on LCHF diets likely come more from unhealthy sources with higher amounts of saturated fat, which raises bad cholesterol, Prof Huang pointed out.She added that people on keto diets generally consume more animal-based products than plant-based ones.
