I've never heard of any other diet or non-keto nutritionist being able to reverse such mental illness. Do you have any links?

>> but I certainly haven’t seen any evidence that it’s superior to other diets that achieve the same things

You can find many N=1 examples for this on the linked youtube channel and then you have hundreds of testemonials here (click load more) on the carnivore diet healing autoimmune issues: https://www.revero.com/blog/success-stories

No other non-keto diet comes even close to this.

I've only ever come across the keto diet as the one that can do this to such an extent. I've only heard of some T2 diabetics reversing it by losing weight in the context of "any diet that causes weight loss".

They don't wave around CVD risks: they show you that all the pro "SFA is bad because of CVD" crowd is also full of biases and very bad science and pharma sponsored studies that shill statins etc...

I agree that the Keto-CTA paper was trash. Horwitz isn't the best when it comes to this.

Though when you say that most are quaks: the entire "SFA is bad" field can also be marked like this when you see that most of those studies are trash, how eg "lasagna" is designated as "meat" in studies and similar trash.

There is no clear signal about SFAs being bad since you can find counter-studies for each viewpoint.
