Ketogenic Diets against Epilepsy

[FlatAssembler]

At least, with penicillin, you can easily do a double-blind controlled study showing it works. How do you do a double-blind controlled study whether some diet works against some disease? It's next to impossible.

But the diets HAVE been shown to work, that's the whole point.  People on the various diets show a significant reduction in the both the number and severity of seizures.  And there HAVE been double-blind studies of the ketogenic diets.

Plenty more out there, you just have to look.

The first one you linked to and the third one you linked to talk about the same study, unrelated to epilepsy. The second one admits to have found no EEG-detectable differences between the keto diet and diet relatively high in glucose, and no statistically significant (p=0.07) reduction in subjectively-reported seizures.
