  • Title: The ketogenic diet: one decade later.
    Author: Freeman JM, Kossoff EH, Hartman AL.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2007 Mar; 119(3):535-43. PubMed ID: 17332207.
    Abstract:
    The ketogenic diet, a high fat, adequate protein, low carbohydrate diet, has, during the past decade, had a resurgence of interest for the treatment of difficult-to-control seizures in children. This review traces its history, reviews its uses and side effects, and discusses possible alternatives and the diet's possible mechanisms of action. Finally, this review looks toward possible future uses of the ketogenic diet for conditions other than epilepsy.
