- The ketogenic diet was originally developed for treatment of pediatric epilepsy in the 1920s, but its popularity waned with the introduction of anti-convulsant drugs. In the mid-1990s, a film producer whose son’s severe epilepsy was successfully controlled by the diet created the Charlie Foundation to promote the diet widely, marking the beginning of renewed scientific interest. (Perhaps you have seen the film …First Do No Harm , with Merryl Streep – about this true story).Anyway, the ketogenic diet is a high-fat (coconut oil for example), adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, which gives the body a steady, constant energy reserve. The diet encourages the body to turn to fat and ketones (produced in the liver by metabolizing fat) for fuel as opposed to relying on sugar-based fuels.
There is now evidence of the benefit of the ketogenic diet in treating not only epilepsy, but also Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease as well as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity.
