Ketogenic diet compared to antiepilepsy drugs
The ketogenic diet’s success rate greatly exceeds that of the medications.
Its side effects, both cognitive and allergic, appear fewer than most available medications.
Understand why changing from a glucose energy to a ketone energy is anticonvulsant can
help in developing a pharmacological approach simulating the biochemical effects of
the ketogenic diet.
