"Here we present a case of asthma [...]" - A case? As in one? I mean, that might suggest additional research might be warranted... but, honestly, it could just as well be that the individual is allergic to something they stopped eating when they switched to the Keto Diet.
In truth, a single person doesn't even qualify as a blip on the radar... worse yet, those who advocate for the Keto Diet (which is nutritionally incomplete) will take this 'evidence' as proof that Keto is the next coming of Christ.
I'm not saying this shouldn't be looked into, but I find it highly disappointing this ever made it to the NIH, especially with the subtle implication of a single instance being dispositive.
