On the other hand, among women with five years or longer of follow-up, those with a high carbohydrate intake of more than 65% had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. No clear association was observed between refined or minimally processed carbohydrate intake and the risk of mortality in women.

For fats, men with a high fat intake of more than 35% of their total energy from fats had a higher risk of cancer-related mortality. They also found that a low intake of unsaturated fat in men was associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality.

In contrast, total fat intake and saturated fat intake in women showed an inverse association with the risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality. They concluded that this finding does not support the idea that high fat intake is detrimental to longevity in women.

So, hesitantly, keto is terrible for men but fine enough for women? Like we weren't already outliving them in general. I'd just be dying to know why, though. You don't just casually tell me dietary requirements noticeably differ by sex and then never elaborate

Yeah but which fats? They vary wildly in toxicity and function

Indeed. And eating bacon is not the same as eating avocado.

Even olive oil can behave undesirably in the presence of heat, unless mixed with a small amount of butter. It's these intricacies that ruin all studies that just look at "fat" consumption

Rendered long pig fat is the best.
