The website states that a study suggests long-term keto diets may negatively impact health by causing cellular aging.
The claim that maintaining a keto diet over long periods could lead to negative consequences like cellular aging is supported by a study from UT Health San Antonio, which found that a long-term ketogenic diet can induce cellular senescence. This is further corroborated by other sources discussing the potential risks of the keto diet, including cellular aging. However, the evidence is not entirely conclusive across the scientific community, leading to a moderate confidence score.

Maintaining a keto diet over long periods of time could have negative consequences like causing cells to age.
A study led by UT Health San Antonio, published in Science Advances, indicates that a long-term ketogenic diet can lead to the accumulation of aged cells in normal tissues, supporting the claim that it may cause cellular aging. This is corroborated by multiple sources discussing potential risks of the keto diet, including cellular senescence. However, the evidence is not unanimous, and the claim is based on specific studies rather than a broad scientific consensus.
