[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1588621, member: 41816"] I think the key thing is that these are 'perceived' risks. All my life, if I didn't drink enough, I got a headache. Then I had a big glass of water, and the headache disappeared. (I saw a brilliant documentary years ago that pointed out most people take a painkiller for headaches, but usually the water they use to swallow the pill is more effective than the tablet. :) ) Anyway, now I low carb, [B][I]and the same thing happens[/I][/B] - I don't drink enough > headache > I drink more > headache disappears. I don't blame LC for that, I blame myself for not drinking enough. As for the ketoacidosis confusion... I kind of take the view that anyone who confuses [I][B]ketoacidosis[/B][/I] with [B][I]nutritional ketosis[/I][/B] is not somebody who should be giving out advice on the subject because they are obviously too ignorant for that advice to be trusted. Now, if that doc had mentioned electrolyte imbalance as a perceived risk, I would be nodding away. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/supplements[/URL] Edited to change the link. [/QUOTE]
