One of the ketogenic diet's major perceived drawbacks is an increase in LDL, or so-called bad cholesterol. A new study, though, says that this cholesterol spike doesn't fit the conventional science in terms of its disease-causing ability.

People with bipolar disorder who followed a ketogenic diet found that their symptoms improved, a new study found. While the study was preliminary, its findings open the door to a new treatment direction for the sometimes difficult-to-treat condition.
