I subscribe to Mark Sisson's paleo newsletter, mostly to stay informed on the latest diet trends circulating the inter-webs, and he recently wrote this article. Perhaps a sign that the influence of the metabolic health community and Peat's work is gaining traction? I for one, am proud.

"
Maybe slightly lower T3 is a feature, not flaw, of ketosis. The longest living creatures on earth tend to have lower levels of T3. Long-living humans often have a genetic predisposition toward lower levels of T3, as if slowing things down staves off aging. If that relationship holds and is causal, perhaps emulating it with dietary means can provide longevity benefits.

You’ll often hear that carbs increase T3. Put another way, the thyroid increases T3 production to deal with the glucose. Carb consumption increases iodine requirements because the thyroid requires more iodine to make more T3 to deal with the carbs."

Really?

Why do paleo advocates push keto?
