The Claim
The Classic Ketogenic Diet administered to pediatric epilepsy patients results in side effects that are predominantly manageable or treatable, with the majority of patients experiencing adverse effects that are not severe enough to necessitate discontinuation of the dietary intervention.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When kids with epilepsy go on the classic ketogenic diet, most of the side effects they might get can be handled or fixed, and most kids don't have to stop the diet because of really bad side effects.
