Pentagon Ponders Ketogenic Diet to Make Soldiers Stronger, More LethalOh boy. Sorry about this. It just worked out this way. I've had this post in the queue since this morning. And having talked up keto all day in the comments, now I spring this on you. But I swear, I just forgot I'd written this up earlier. I'm not trying to do keto NXIVM, swearsies. Carbs are the enemy, and the US military must terminate them with extreme prejudice. Ditching carbs may be the key to military success in America's future wars. A doctor named Dominic D'Agostino is the main guy studying the effects of ketosis on divers, working with the Navy SEALs. I think D'Agostino is mostly researching exogenous ketones -- ketones you eat as supplements, rather than endogenous ketones produced in the body via carbohydrate restriction -- but the end results are similar. For the first time, ketone esters--oral supplements useful in epilepsy treatment--are being studied to fight seizures caused by hyperbaric oxygen toxicity, a life-threatening byproduct of breathing too much oxygen that impacts deep-water divers. If you're interested in his work, there are dozens of YouTube interviews with him, including on Joe Rogan. Here's one of him discussing his research into using ketones/ketosis to reduce neurological impairments like epilepsy with Rhonda Patrick, who's a little nerd cutie. In the first section of this interview, he talks about DARPA's interest in ketone supplementation. (The military doesn't like the full ketogenic diet, because they're worried about reduced performance without carbohydrates and they've got an entire sub-industry of food preparation already in place which includes a lot of carbs, so they'd prefer to just add ketones in pill form.) He talks about his work with SEALs here as well. | Recent Comments
