New research links low-carb diets like Keto and Atkins with AFib and lower life expectancy. Why many heart doctors also don’t recommend going low-carb.
Low-carb diets like the ketogenic plan and Atkins have gone viral after athletes like LeBron James and A-Rod, and celebrities like the Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez and Al Roker, have sworn that following low-carb, high-fat diets have helped them slim down. Keto is now an estimated $5 billion industry, according to Orian Research; Mordor Intelligence puts the number closer to $9.08 billion last year, expected to hit $12.35 billion in 2024.
Now, none of these studies claim a direct cause-and-effect relationship between low-carb diets and AFib or an earlier death. They are not clinical trials. And the Lancet report relied on subjects self-reporting what they recalled eating over the past several years, which could be flawed. Going low-carb has also been shown to throw off electrolyte levels, which hurts heart health. The Lancet and European Society of Cardiology studies also noted that eating more animal protein, particularly red and processed meat, has also been linked with an increased risk of cancer.“The bottom line is to look at good carbs and bad carbs,” Dr. Mary Ann McLaughlin, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital, told MarketWatch.
