| Summary |
The ketogenic diet is used to treat difficult-to-control epileptic seizures in children. This fifth edition of Ketogenic Diets, co-authored by four respected Johns Hopkins clinicians, has been extensively updated to reflect current advances in understanding how the diet works and how it should be used. Six new chapters address how to integrate the diet into different cultures, religions, and taste preferences, modified and less restrictive versions of the diet, and new information showing the benefits of the diet. Includes sample meal plans and a food database. |
