FRIDAY, May 2 (HealthDay News) — The "ketogenic" diet, which features high levels of fat, low levels of carbohydrates and controlled protein intake, helps control and prevent seizures in children with drug-resistant epilepsy, a new study finds.
The diet mimics the effects of starvation and induces chemicals in the brain that appear to reduce seizures. In its first clinical trial, researchers find it helps children. The first clinical trial of a ketogenic diet — high in fats and low in carbohydrates and protein — for epilepsy has shown that it sharply curtails seizures and is an effective tool for managing children who are …
A special high-fat diet helps to control fits in children with epilepsy, a UK trial suggests.
Tiny marks on the teeth of an ancient human ancestor known as the "Nutcracker Man" may upset current evolutionary understanding of early hominid diet.Using high-powered microscopes, researchers looked at rough geometric shapes on the teeth of several Nutcracker Man specimens and determined that their structure alone was not enough to predict diet.
The first clinical trial of a ketogenic diet - high in fats and low in carbohydrates and protein - for epilepsy has shown that it sharply curtails seizures and is an effective tool for managing children who are resistant to anti-epilepsy drugs.

Doctors have confirmed that a special high-fat diet can help children seriously afflicted with epilepsy. Among children given the diet, seizures dropped by more than a third over a three-month period. At the same time, children not given the diet experienced a more than 33% rise in seizures.
LONDON, May 3 (Bernama) — Researchers in Britain have developed a special high-fat diet which they claim can control fits in children with epilepsy.
London, May 3 : Researchers have conducted a new trial in UK which indicated that a unique high-fat diet, called the "ketogenic" diet may help limit the fits experienced by children with epilepsy.
