And the fact that they work really well in some cases of childhood epilepsy does not mean that they work for general day-to-day stuff in adults.

And there can be some problems with it.

So in some people, they can have high cholesterol levels coming out of that.

And also, with people with diabetes,

they need to be medically supervised to make sure everything's going on.

And also a very low carb diet can influence your gut microbiota and thyroid hormones.

But in general, you can get away with it in most cases, but you got to make sure that you still keep some carbs coming in.

Oh, so the initial fog lasted a few days, did it?

Okay, look, I'll just finally finish off by deferring to our good friend from Newcastle, Claire Collins, and she says you can get away with it, but you're better off having a regular diet.

And I won't say any more.

We'll ask next time she comes on.

I'll agree.

Well, I'll rely on whatever Claire Collins says.

Well, certainly it won't be harmful.

It won't be any more harmful than getting radiation from the sun, you know, which is heat.

So the sun puts out about half of its energy that ascends to the earth, half of its energy as visible light.

That's 400 to 700 nanometres in wavelength.

And then the other half of the energy, slightly more than half actually, is from 700 up to 30,000 nanometres.

And we humans do not have specialised receptors for that.

We just feel it on our skin.
