Abstract in brief

  • This study was a rare blinded, crossover trial testing the ketogenic diet (KD) in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, comparing its effects when paired with glucose versus saccharin solutions.
  • Results showed a moderate decrease in parent-reported seizures when children were on KD plus glucose compared to saccharin, but there was no significant change in EEG-detected seizure events.
  • Ketosis was only partially suppressed in the glucose arm, indicating the diet's effects may not rely solely on ketosis but could involve other mechanisms.]

@FoodLiesOrg @EatNoseToTail Monk fruit might not be best tasting, but its decent enough, and doesn't spike blood sugar. Probably the safest of the bunch. https://t.co/kVyRrNYWFD

Interesting. Sucralose in packets should be avoided but anything else that has it in it already is ok. So I guess The stuff I have is good for the most part. I’m talking about my sugar free stuff. Drinks, food etc. https://t.co/a0zKLd9I4t
