Some people use it to fight diabetes, others use it to lose weight. Recently, a medical study in Austria confirmed that MCT ketogenic diet may aggravate the symptoms of dermatitis. This research paper has been published in the Journal of Dermatology Research.

Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, medium-protein and low-carbohydrate diet. Its main principle is to simulate the hunger state of the human body, by forcing the human body to burn fat first instead of carbohydrates. Some studies have confirmed that ketogenic diet is helpful to control the symptoms of type 2 diabetes and prevent cognitive decline. Doctors sometimes advise epileptic patients to follow a ketogenic diet to reduce the frequency of seizures.

Ketogenic diet may aggravate the symptoms of dermatitis.

A recent study published by the Austrian Pala Celsus Medical University showed that mice with psoriasis/dermatitis became more severe after taking ketogenic diet. Dr Barbara Kofler, lead author of * * *, said: "This study makes people understand the possible effects of ketogenic diet and skin inflammation, and better understand the importance of fatty acids." . Why did Kofler say that? Because the focus of this study is that they studied the effects of different types of ketogenic diets (MCT, LCT) on skin inflammation.

What are MCT and LCT? Which will affect skin inflammation?

The researchers fed mice different types of ketogenic diets, including high-content medium-chain fatty acids MCT (fat from coconut, often added to bullet-proof coffee) and long-chain fatty acids LCT (from common vegetable oils, such as olive oil and soybean oil).

It was found that feeding mice with high MCT diet with foods containing omega-3 fatty acids (such as fish oil and nuts) would worsen the skin inflammation of mice. Kofler added: "We found that taking LCT ketogenic diet does not aggravate skin inflammation."
