ketogenic diets can raise LDL and I don't think we fully understand all of the nuance there but there's I've heard you know domme the Agostino talked about dairy fat raising LDL more than other fats

There was one study that's often referenced in regard to the ketogenic diet being atherogenic the triglycerides are really high in some of the kids.
