While I absolutely agree with the general premise, he ignores (or at least this article does) the trick of keto, which is that if you don\u2019t eat enough carbs, your body goes into a ketogenic state to make blood sugar from fats and\/or proteins, which is inefficient and results in needing more caloric intake to produce the needed blood sugar than if one ate enough carbs. The issue with keto is that you restrict the types of foods you eat, particularly fruits and veg. Those foods have a lot of micronutrients. So IMHO keto is a good device if you go on a keto diet for one month or maybe a bit more (or similarly, do keto intermittently to hit a target weight) But he\u2019s right about long term sustainability. <\/p>\n Climate\/Environment<\/p>\n Climate change\u2019s hidden cost: Mental health crisis among Montana\u2019s farmers and ranchers<\/a> Bozeman Daily Chronicle<\/p>\n Early \u2018Forever Chemicals\u2019 Exposure Could Impact Economic Success in Adulthood, Study Says<\/a> Guardian<\/p>\n Japan EV Sales Plummet 33% in 2024, First Decline in Four Years<\/a> Nikkei<\/p>\n South Korean Battery Giants Face Steep Losses Amid Global EV Slowdown<\/a> Korea Bizwire<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n China?<\/p>\n China to keep tapping coal to meet its energy security needs<\/a> Mining Weekly<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n India<\/p>\n India\u2019s Payments Push is Cutting Out Visa and Mastercard<\/a> Techcrunch<\/p>\n Africa<\/p>\n Mozambique\u2019s default risk rises as unrest persists<\/a> Semafor<\/p>\n Zambia\u2019s currency stuck at record low as drought persists<\/a> Reuters<\/p>\n The Zambian Debt Default: A Structuralist Perspective<\/a> Georgetown Journal of International Affairs<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n South of the Border<\/p>\n US announces $25m reward for arrest of Venezuela\u2019s Maduro<\/a> BBC (Kevin W)<\/p>\n A Sinkhole Is Threatening to Consume Ecuador\u2019s Main Source of Power<\/a> Bloomberg<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n European Disunion<\/p>\n Germany records highest company insolvencies since financial crisis<\/a> Reuters<\/p>\n Progress in the trial against Ursula von der Leyen<\/a> Cocominute (Micael T)<\/p>\n Working Class Front Lines 2025<\/a> Prolitarian [Sweden], via machine translation (Micael T)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Israel v.
