There's no confusion. The report I directed you to was written by a doctor. And he warned that long term ketosis can cause severe damage to liver and kidneys. There was no distinction made between diabetic ketosis and nutritional ketosis. When nitrogen and ketones are released into the blood stream, a burden is placed on the kidneys, whether you have diabetes or not.
If someone is doing this short term (under a doctor's supervision) to lose weight, that's one thing. But this thread is not about that. I believe this thread is about long term ketosis to prevent or treat cancer. And long term it puts a burden on the kidneys and liver, especially when you consider that most elderly people are already taking multiple drugs.
