It's interesting to see a society of endocrinologists advocating a keto diet.  It seems that most doctors still are opposed to anything but a "healthy" diet high in carbs.

Indeed! We have been following this method of eating for years and years and oh so slowly the medical community is coming to see the benefit of it. I think the hardest hurdle for them to get over is going to be the high fat component. Hopefully in time...
