I, as well, am a fan of Dr. Ede. I look forward to her focusing on nutrition, as it has such an impact on overall health, and it's really the correct avenue to travel for medicine these days. She has so much to offer in this field.

The information about a ketogenic diet being protective of inflammation makes a lot of sense, and it also makes sense that reduced inflammation would encourage better health and elimination of the many symptoms of metabolic syndrome. When I get a blood test, I request an High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) test which is used to measure my inflammation, and my last test result was 0.4 mg/L, indicating that my inflammation is under good control. The following metrics indicate hsCRP levels of inflammation:
- Low risk: less than 1.0 mg/L
- Average risk: 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L
- High risk: above 3.0 mg/L

I strongly believe following a strict LC/KD approach has a lot to do with being able to manage inflammation among other things.
