Reading through some more scientific reviews article, it seems like a lot of the risk comes from animal-based product consumption particularly. For instance, one study found increased all-cause mortality for keto with higher animal product consumption and decreased levels for a plant-based keto diet. However, given that most studies aren't focusing on that, it's still hard to tell if there's other risks not being included there. Additionally, a lot of the touted benefits of keto appear to wane over time and don't end up doing all that much better than other diets
I'd still recommend just being careful about it
