This article seems antiquated and not well researched?

The cons seem to be shortsighted and/or minor?

The bullet point noting there is lack of research is concerning since the Keto diet has been around a very long time and had many reviews & studies written about it.

Has someone else at the Mayo Clinic done more extensive research?

Hi @bsb ,
Here's another article from us: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/low-carb-diet/art-20045831

At the end of the day, any diet plan a person chooses to follow should be discussed with their health care team; ideally a registered dietitian. It is important to consider not only research, but someone's medical history, preferences, values, and goals.

It is also hard to understand what people are referring to as true "keto". This definition is quite loose in the world of the internet. A low-carbohydrate diet can be done in both healthy and unhealthy ways.
