Monthly Research Roundups

New research in therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and metabolic health (sample – these are now available monthly through the Nutrition Network platform only)

The studies included in this reference resource support the themes contained within the textbook, Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health, available through various platforms.

The Nutrition Network’s scientific references and research resources page
provides evidence streams pertaining to metabolic health and various degrees of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction across a broad range of conditions and includes topics where the evidence is emergent.

The papers listed are representative of the literature but not exhaustive.
