[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 854473, member: 113749"] "The long-term risk of high ketone levels on the renal circulation associated with these diets" - Yes, we would all like some research on the safety of long-term ketosis. There's no evidence I've seen though pointing to ketosis damaging the kidneys. It used to be thought that too much protein was bad for the kidneys (not the same as ketosis, where most calories come from fat or gluconeogenesis ends it). But from what I've read, recent evidence doesn't support that. And microvascular complications are *avoided* by low BG levels. As Smidge says, nobody is courting hypos. The point about low carb, whether or not it includes ketosis, is that the range of BG fluctuation is much reduced. It becomes much more consistent. Which *avoids* hypos. And I think there's some irrational ketophobia here. [/QUOTE]
