The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

ketosis is not a starvation State for human it's an adaptive state we can run on ketones or we can run on glucose people will try and say ketosis is a starvation State that's that's a conflation of ideas looking at rodents and other animals for whom ketosis is a starvation State but in humans we don't have to be starving to be in ketosis we just need to be not eating carbohydrates it's not a starvation State we don't see a rise in cortisol like we talked to by we don't see a rise in other sympathetic hormones you know norepinephrine these hormones do not rise on a ketogenic diet
ketosis is not a fight-or-flight condition you know it's just not it's there's no sympathetic nervous system activation in ketosis
I think that when people acutely adapt there is some evidence for that but my impression is it doesn't happen long term and that those eventually normalize is that correct
if you look at it i think acutely in people who are in ketogenic diets cortisol will rise sympathetic nervous system goes up
getting carbohydrates will mitigate the increases in negative stress hormones cortisol glucagon catac colomines that happen when you go keto
