Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a ketogenic diet is safe for one-year-old children?

Yes. Clinical studies and randomized controlled trials indicate that the ketogenic diet is generally safe and well-tolerated in infants and young children under the age of two, particularly when used to manage drug-resistant epilepsy under medical supervision.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains multiple studies specifically evaluating infants under two years of age (including infants under one year). Papers [1], [6], and [8] all explicitly report that the ketogenic diet is safe, feasible, and well-tolerated in infants and young children, providing an acceptable safety profile when properly monitored. No papers in the list refute this claim.
