Best diet for mental health is keto diet, or better carnivore, but needs to be very-high fat, and best is non-dairy fat (example beef fat trimmings).

That's a bold claim with weak evidence.

It's very hard to do, epilepsy keto. And it doesn't work on all cases. But it does work in many cases. For 100+ years now.

Helping some small portion of the people who suffer from epilepsy is a far cry from "Best diet for mental health is keto diet".

Generally 15% total remission seizure free. Glut-1 defficiency is 80% total remission (20% of population with epilepsy). 50% of children will respond (helps but not totally).

For type 2 diabetes it's even better, like 70% IIRC med free.

I too can ignore the statement I am replying to, continuing arguments made elsewhere.
