There is no shortage of patients, only a shortage of cardiologists and most other physicians. This has led to the proliferation of dangerously undereducated NPs.
The main issue is that they claimed one result from the study while the data behind the buried primary end-point they tried to hide showed the opposite. It's not conclusive but it's a certainly a negative data point for keto enthusiasts.
I had heard about this study years ago and was hoping for the opposite result so that I could more enthusiastically endorse the keto diet.
My priors are that life is too short to restrict yourself to any particular diet, especially when the evidence base in nutrition is generally incredibly poor. Anything/everything in moderation - less is more.

That's my point. There don't need to be anywhere near the number of cardiology patients. I'm not laying that primarily on doctors, but my impression has always been that they do a poor job of impressing the importance of lifestyle changes, compared to the importance placed on medications and other treatments.

I see. I didn't catch that originally.
