Keto diets are highly effective at reversing insulin resistance (and hence improving or reversing diabetes, Alzheimers, heart disease and other diseases). While I acknowledge it may not be the right diet for ultra endurance athletes, it's also not the dangerous diet this article would have you believe. And the whole bit about consuming your own body's muscle mass for energy while on keto is complete garbage. Only if you're in starvation, which is not keto nor fasting.
