In this segment of the video, a study on nearly half a million people suggests that the popular ketogenic diet, which focuses on high-fat, low-carb foods, may have long-term negative consequences. While the keto diet can be effective for weight loss and blood sugar control, going low carb could potentially make individuals less glucose tolerant, leading to diabetes development. It is important for the body to maintain glucose receptors by having exposure to carbohydrates in moderation.
